WPT Main Event (2,500,000 KRW)

Ying Song committed her last 365,000 with A♥ K♣ and ran smack into Zhikang Dai's A♠ A♦ . In rough shape, board 7♠ 3♥ 4♦ Q♠ 7♦ offered no help for Song, eliminating her from the games.

Yiyu Zhou opened to 50,000 from utg, joined by both players on the blinds to flop Q♥ 8♦ 7♣ . Action checked to Zhou, who bet 100,000. Ying Song put in the call, and went on tank call Zhou's 225,000 all-in on turn 2♦ .

Zhou tabled top pair A♦ Q♣ , ahead of Song's midpair A♥ 8♥ , and shipped the pot as river 7♥ completed the board.

Facing an open and a call, Sergei Kim moved all-in for 540,000 on the big blind, and was called by Ying Song with a pocket pair. Running a flip, Song instantly spiked a set on flop 9♦ 3♦ 5♠ , yet booked the loss as the runout 8♠ K♠ landed Kim a backdoor flush for the win.
