This is like Terran getting beat by Protoss, Zerg or something. That kind of day for former StarCraft Pro Lim Yo Hwan of Korea. (Full disclosure: the writer have never played a game of StarCraft in his life)
Singaporean Feng Zhao from early position opened to 3,000 and Yo-Huan responded with a shove worth his final 14,500. Zhao thought for a bit but made the crying call.
It was the right one though as Yo-Huan showed A♣ Q♦ and he had A♦ Q♥.
Split pot, right?
Well…
The flop 10♣ K♥ 4♦ thinks so.
The turn 8♦ put suspense in this “boring” showdown.
And the river 5♦ confirmed NO CHOP for the players and busts out Yo-Huan from the main event.
We are down to 84 players and Zhao climbs to over 30,000 after the hand.
