Paul Hong has joined the million men crossing the seven-digit mark at his table. It took two hands to do so. First hand, he raised to 35k and was called by Okabe Shoei. At the flop J♦ 9♥ K♠, Hong bet 55k and was called only by Shoei. On the 6♣ turn, both checked, but on the Q♣ river, Hong fired again. This time he led for 130k. Shoei called. Hong showed K♣ 10♣ for a straight. Shoei mucked and dropped down to 450k.
Next hand saw Hong raise to 35k, Teruhisa Aoyama three-bet to 98k, Hong four-bet to 220k, and that was it. He won it with Aoyama folding. Hong jumps to 1.2M.
