It was an intense bout between SJ Kim and Dong Hyun Kim during the first hand for hand battle of the bubble stage. Dong raised to 9k preflop, SJ re-raised to 21.5k, and Dong called. At the flop of 4♥ 9♦ Q♦, Dong checked to SJ who bet 22k. Dong called. On the turn of 10♥, Dong went all in covering SJ in chips. This sent SJ tanking for quite some time. He eventually folded and showed his A♣ Q♥ top pair.
SJ Kim around 40k left.
Right after scooping Lester Edoc’s chips, Terry Gonzaga raised to 10k, was re-raised to 45k by Jim Bonanno. Gonzaga folded and Bonanno wins his first hand today.
