WPT Main Event (2,500,000 KRW)

Another all-in preflop situation saw Hao Yang as the latest casualty, having ran his 136,000 stack with Q♠ Q♣ right into Shuang Li's A♦ A♣ . Board T♣ 5♦ 9♥ 5♥ 3♥ steered clear of any queens, shipping it all to Li.

Hao Yang opened to 3,500 from the hijack, called behind by Shuang Li along with the big blind. On flop 9♦ 4♠ 7♠ , Li called another 5,000 from the raiser and headed to turn 5♠ . Both checked it through to river T♠ , where Yang sent out a final 10,000. Li gave up the pot and threw in the fold.

A three way three bet pot led by Li Wei Chen saw a flop of J♥ 3♠ A♦ . Checked to Li, he bet 4,000, called by both Hao Yang and Dawei Lu. No more bets went in on either turn 4♣ or river K♥ , revealing Li's A♥ T♠ good for the take down.
