HomeJoon Won “James” Lee defended his small blind by calling short stacked Yukihiro Kuroda’s raise to 3k. At the flop of 3♦ Q♠ 9♣ both players checked to get a free 10♦ turn. Lee led for 2k and Kuroda called.On the river 6♦,Lee slid out 6k and this time he won it with Kuroda backing down.
A couple of hands after, the even shorter stacked Kuroda busted out and became the first casualty of Day 2.
