Day 1C
Lee Jonggu Doubles And Decimates
Lee JongguNguyen Duc Nhat raised to 10,000 from UTG+1. Lee Jonggu three-bet shoved all-in for 68,000 from the cutoff. Nhat tanked a bit, examined the possible stack damage, looked at his cards, took a long look at Jonggu, wondered if cats can see ghosts, threw in a time-bank card and threw a chip in for the call.
Two over cards vs a smaller pair. A coin flip. The board favored Jonngu and gave him a double-up while leaving Nhat's stack to crumbs.
