Pham's Nut Straight Takes Out Bui And Cripples Kim

Level 11: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200

Duy Pham

Four players - Small blind Sangyeop Kim , UTG+1 Duy Pham, Lo-jack Kyoungseok Chai and Cut-off Thai Hoang Bui - were staring at a flop of J♠ 9♣ Q♦ and a pot 12,400.

Kim checked his option to Pham, who fired 3,000. Chai re-raised to 7,000 and Bui shoved all-in for his last 11,500. Kim then re-raised all-in and Pham called for his last 26,900. Chai moved out of the way.

Kim flopped a straight, but was no match for Pham's nut-straight. Bui landed a pair jack and looked in awful shape.

The board ran J♦ 2♣ and gave Pham the huge pot, denting Kim and eliminating Bui in the process.

Chai Depletes Tien

Level 3: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Kyungseok Chai

There was around 9,000 in the pot with a board that showed 2♣ 9♥ 4♦ 7♣. Three players were still competing. The small blind check-folded when Kyungseok Chai fired 3,300 from UTG. Only Vu Do Tien on the button matched after using a time bank token.

The river came 5♣ and Chai fired another 6,600. Tien threw in two time bank cards before deciding to fold.
