Jinwoo Kim, Hyun Kyu Bae
We just witnessed one of the most heated moments in the game so far today. Action began with hijack player Kosei Ichinose raising ot 20k, cutoff Jinwoo Kim three-bet to 60k, button Hyun called, and Ichinose joined for a three-way to the flop.
Flop 7♦ 2♦ 8♦, Ichinose checked, Kim c-bet 50k, Hyun called, and Ichinose folded. At the 3♠ turn, Kim fired out 100k, and Hyun called. On the A♦ river, Kim slid out 221k, and this time, Hyun halted for a minute or two. He counted out the bet but opted to fold and give up his stake on the pot. Hyun drops to around 600K, Kim soars to 1M.
