On the first level of the day, APT Korea Incheon Main Event champion Albert Paik was given a second chance with his A-9 both pairing up on the board to double up through Patty Lai with A-K top pair. Since then, he has nursed his stack however it is still below average. We just caught a glimpse of his losing two pots. Both hands had him deep in the tank.
On a complete board showing 3♦ 8♣ 4♦ 8♠ 6♦ and a 41k pot brewed, Tetsuya Tsuchikawa laid out 18.5k. After a couple of minutes, Paik folded.
A couple of hands after, Diego Palma had his 22.3k stack all in on a board of 10♦ 6♠ K♠ Q♣ 9♠ and a pot of 17.3k beside it. Once again, Paik tanked but this time he opted to call. Palma opened up A♣ J♦ straight and Paik paid the double up while showing his K♦[qh} two pair.
