After a few hands with no flop action, we finally got one in this hand. Thong Botho raised to 25k preflop and Dong Hyun Kim called. The flop ran K♠ 7♠ 3♥. Botho checked to Kim who bet 31k. Botho folded.
The next hands had no big action. Seung Soo Jeon raised to 25k and everyone folded. Then after that, Thong Botho raised to 25k and everyone folded.
Next hand, action folded to the small blind Julius Malzanini who moved all in and big blind player Byeongcheol Kim folded.
Terry Gonzaga is way below average stack with 67k, but even with his shove, no one was able to make the call and he picked up the blinds and antes.
