Kwak fills up for double up

Bulgaria’s Slavin Popov opens from the +2 position for 700 as Lee Jangkyu of Korea makes the call from the SB. Another Korean in Kwak Minseung re-raises from the BB to 3,300 and gets both to call.
The flop is J♥ 6♥ A♠ as Lee checks. Kwak bombs away for 3,000 and still gets called by both Popov and Lee. The turn is the 6♣ as Lee and this time Kwak opt to check. Popov then bets 11,500. Lee folds as Kwak calls all-in for his remaining 11,300.
Popov shows K♥ T♥ for a flush draw while the Korean has him drawing dead as he turns over J♥ J♣ for a full house on the turn.
The river of the 4♦ makes Kwak’s double up off of the Bulgarian official.
