Hwang Sang Yeon stays alive; Cho busts


The hand opened with a 14k raise by button Seitaro Aso but when short stacks sb Hwang Sang Yeon (78k) and bb Jeonggyu Cho (106k) shoved, Aso folded. Hwang 7 7, Cho A 2, the board ran 4 4 10 7 2 full house and a double up to Hwang.

Cho was down to his last 28k and went all in with A 9. He was called by Seitaro Aso who said “favorite hand” while showing 5 3. The hand was indeed good with two fives showing up to eliminate Cho.
