HomeAfter the first two hands of the Final 8 went by with Iori Yogo and Yuichi Sumida raising it up but finding no callers, we got the first action hand.
Jinwoo Kim raised to 50k from mid position and Sumida called from the big blind. On the flop 3♦ 5♣ 10♣, Sumida checked, Kim continued with a 55k bet and Sumida called. On the 10♦ turn, action was the same with Kim firing out a 90k and Sumida calling once again. The river Q♦ had Sumida check, Kim slid out a huge 250k bet and won the pot with Sumida surrendering his hand.
Kim up to 1.826M while Sumida drops to 440k.
