Super High Roller (88,000,000 VND)

We joined the hand with the all-in button on Yun Jungsup who was peeling his cards to Xinyin Xu. There was a T♥ on the top and Jungsup slowly revealed the bottom 9♥ as if in a magic show. Almost as if he pushed all-in blind. Xu's K♥ K♦ were already on the table with all the chips to be fought for.

The board came A♣ Q♠ K♠ to give Xu a set and Jungsup a gut-shot straight draw. The board completed 3♥ K♣ with Xu rivering quad kings to add emphasis on Jungsup's exit. Jungsup smiled all the way to the payout cage.

Yun Jungsup shoved all-in from under the gun for 1,420,000 and had a few players questioning their bravery with one player counting chips to feign a call and see a reaction. Everyone eventually folded and Jungsup scooped some blinds.
