Big Chick Disaster for Yo Hwan


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.
