HomeFeng Zhao opened to 65,000 preflop but saw Hyeong Wook Choi raise all-in worth around 440,000.
With a huge stack and lead over the other three players, it took just seconds before Zhao made the decision to call.
Singapore vs. Korea showdon with HC Choi’s tournament life at stake:
Choi: Q♣ J♠
Zhao: A♥ J♣
Choi is in major trouble and needs a lady to extend his stay in this main event. Flop K♠ 5♦ 8♦ was of no help and the turn 8♦ and river 2♥ was of no consequence.
Zhao climbs to over 2.5M in chips at this point with 3 players left and Choi leaves at 4th place for over 35 thousand dollars– not bad for a player who entered the final table as one of the shorter stacks…
