Mystery Bounty ($565)

With the action folded to Loong Yuen Hong, he raises it to 4,500 from the D. Yu Lin from Taiwan goes for a 3-bet shove from the BB for his last 67,500. Loong calls.

Yu turns over A♣ K♦ while Loong has an inferior A♥ Q♣ .

The flop appeared safe for Yu: 5♣ 7♣ 5♦ although chop out became available. The turn is the 5♠ and their kickers still play, until the river arrives and it is the Q♥ giving Loong a full house to eliminate Yu.

Loong now has the most chips at this juncture.

THe money bubble now looms.

Former chip-leader Yu Lin of Taiwan goes for an open shove UTG and gets calls from a player in the HJ and Vietnam’s Dang Anh Duc in the SB for his last 12,000.

Yu shows A♣ 3♠ while the player in the HJ has K♥ Q♠ . Dang has the worst of it with 9♥ 7♥ but has live cards.

The flop immediately gave the Vietnamese player an edge: 6♥ 7♦ 2♣ . The turn seals the deal as the 9♦ appears, rendering Dang’s opponents as drawing dead. The river is the T♦ ensuring a triple up for Dang and the loss busts the player in the HJ out and further reduces Yu’s stack.

Chipleader Hong Sung heon is in the headlines anew as he performs another raise, this time from the HJ for 2,400. Yu Lin once again calls from the CO but both get 3-bet by Vietnam’s Nguyen Quang Huy on the D to 10,200. They both call.

The flop comes Q♥ J♥ 5♦ as Hong and Yu check. Nguyen CBets 20,000 and it is enough to make both his opponents fold.

The action opens from the CO of chip-leader Hong Sungheon as the Korean raises it to 2,400 and gets two callers, one of which is former chip-leader Yu Lin of Taiwan on the D.

The flop comes 9♥ 2♥ 3♣ as the caller from the BB checks. Hong CBets 1,500 and gets a call from Yu. The BB folds. The turn is the K♠ as now the Korean fires 5,300. Yu folds.

Hong is now wielding his mighty stack.

Korea’s Hong Sungheon is in the CO and chip-leader Yu Lin of Taiwan is in the CO on a flop of 4♥ 5♠ 2♠ and with already 13,500 in the middle.

Yu bets 6,000 and Hong over-raises by going all-in for 108,200. Yu makes the call.

Hong turns over 5♣ 4♣ for top two pairs on the flop while Yu shows K♠ Q♠ for the second nut flush draw.

The turn is the 2♥ adding more outs for the Taiwanese player but the river card misses everything as the 8♣ arrives to give the Korean over 200,000 in chips and goes to the top of the leaderboard.

Thailand’s Thanapon Thipthan opens from the CO for 1,600 and gets re-raised by Yu Lin of Taiwan for 6k. Thipthan makes the call.

The flop is Q♥ 6♥ 6♣ as Thipthan leads out for 6,000 and is greeted with a raise all-in from Yu. The Thai players calls for his remaining 13,000.

Yu flips over K♣ K♠ while a disgruntled Thipthan shows Q♣ 9♣.

The turn card provided a sweat as the 9♠ arrived but all that was quelled when the 6♠ showed up on the river to give the Taiwanese player a higher full house and eliminate Thipthan.

The win also pushed Yu above the six-figure chip mark and installs him as the new overall chip-leader.

After a flop of 3♠ A♥ 8♥ was dealt and a pot of 19,000 up for grabs, Taiwan’s Yu Lin went all-in and An Seokyeol of Korea made the call.

When the cards got tabled, Yu showed 5♦ 5♣ while An had A♦ 2♣.

The turn was the 9♦ but the river was the Miracle card for the Taiwanese as the 5♥ appeared to bust An and bring Yu closer to the 80,000 chip mark.

Stephen Bergenholtz of the United States starts the action by raising from the +2 position and gets a caller in Taiwan’s Yu Lin in the SB.

The flop shows A♥ 5♠ 7♣ and both players elect to check. The turn is the 9♣ as Yu bets 1,500. The American, however, raises to 6,100 and it’s enough to get Yu off the hand.

With already 13,800 in the middle after the smoke cleared from a preflop scuffle, Taiwan’s Yu Lin on the D was heads up against Fujishiro Kazuki of Japan on a flop of A♠ 7♦ K♣ .

Kazuki bets 2,500 and gets called by Yu. The turn card produces the 7♠ and once again the Japanese player leads out, this time for 3,000. Yu stays sticky. The river is the 6♣ and Kazuki moves all-in. Yu folds.
