Action began with John Kim raising to 17k from the utg seat. He was called by two players, Lester Edoc and big blind Alex Ward. At the flop of 2♣ K♥ Q♥, Ward checked to Kim who bet 23k which Edoc called. When action returned to Ward, he check-raised to 72k which was enough to get Kim to fold while Edoc called. On the turn of 9♥, both players checked. Then on the river of 4♣, Ward led out for 80k, Edoc thought about it, counted out chips, but folded instead.
