WPT Main Event (2,500,000 KRW)

Thijs Hilberts opened from the button and went on to jam his last 84,000 in following a three bet from Shuang Li on the big blind. Li made the call with A♣ K♠ and is in for a flip against Hilberts' Q♣ Q♥ . At risk, Hilberts found flop Q♦ A♠ J♠ in his favor, up until the runout A♥ J♦ gave Li a better full house to deliver his bust.

With 63,500 in the middle across flop A♥ A♦ 8♥ , action was seen on button Joseph Cheong firing a bet of 12,000. Thijs Hilberts check called to see turn T♠ , but gave it up as Cheong continued for another 25,000.

Cheong kicked off the Day 2 rounds amongst the shortest with only 40,000 but has built quite a stack only two levels in.

Linghui Dai opened to 4,000 from utg, and was called by Thijs Hilberts on the button along with Chenxu Zhang on the big blind. On flop J♣ 5♥ T♠ , Dai continued for 5,000 and missed to weed either opponent to turn J♦ . Dai proceeded with another 15,000, and shipped the pot as both opponents threw in the fold.

Thijs Hilberts opened to 3,000 from the hijack and called 7,000 more following a three bet from Chenxu Zhang. On flop K♠ 4♥ 5♣ , Zhang continued for 8,500, but slowed down on turn A♥ after Hilberts put in the call. Zhang tested the waters once more on river 3♥ with a 21,000 bet , yet tank folded after Hilberts raised to 50,000.
