Flight B
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.

Popov bets river

Hoang Hai Nam raises from UTG anf gets called by Slaven Popov of Bulgaria in the HJ and fellow Vietnamese player Nguyen Manh Truong in the CO. China’s Liu Xing Jun, however, 3-bets it from the BB to 2,500. Everyone calls.
The flop is 7♣ 8♥ 2♥ and all skip this street. The turn is the J♠ and once again, no action ensues. The river is the Q♦ and after Hoang checks a third time, Popov bets 6,500. No one calls.
