HomeJung Hwan Ki opened with 500 pre-flop and got a call from Linh Tran to bring the flop 10♠ 9♣ 7♦, which was checked by both players.
On the turn 4♦, it was Tran’s turn to bet first with 2,800 and was called by Ki. On the river 5♣, Tran made sure it was a bigger one– 14,000 and Ki just couldn’t take the heat on this one and folded. Tran wins a nice pot.
Tetsuya Tsuchikawa opened with 500 pre-flop and had callers from both blinds.
All three players checked the flop 9♠ A♠ 2♥ and on the turn 10♣ the SB player bet 1,000, the big blind folded and Tet re-popped to 2,200. SB made the call.
River A♣ arrived and both players both checked. Tet shows A♦ 8♦ and the small blind mucked to give the Japanese the nice pot.
On a 6,000+ pot with a board of J♥ 4♦ J♠ 6♦ Randy Boone bet 3,300 and got a call from Ferenc Riech. River J♣ arrived and this time it was Riech who led out for 10,000… Too much for Mr. Boone, who threw away his hand.
Sammy Bolung opened with 1,300 pre-flop and saw Feng Zhao re-pop to 3,100. Bolung made the call to bring in the flop A♦ 3♥ Q♥. Zhao opened with 3,000 this time and Bolung just flat-called. Both players stepped on the brakes on the turn 3♠ and river 7♠ and the Bolung won the showdown after showing pocket 10s and after Zhao mucked.
Jesse Supnet opened to 575 and found a caller from mid-position. John King, from the small blind, also flat-called but the big blind (Sammy Bolung) made it 3,200. Supnet folded ad so did the mid-position player. King tanked but eventually folded as well.
Bolung shows up everyone by showing a queen and a seven. Off-suit.
With a few limpers behind him, Jae Chang raised to 1,200 pre-flop but saw three callers anyway. All four players checked the flop Q♦ 4♣ 4♥ but on the turn 2♠ the player from the cut-off bet 2,000 forcing the fold from all players except Chang.
Both the CO player and Chang checked the river K♦ and Chang showed first– A♦ A♣… Too good for the opponent who mucked his hand.

Flop: 8♥ 6♠ 8♣
Uesugi opened with 1,800 again but saw Boone re-pop to 4,500. Uesugi folded but one opponent from the mid-position made the call to bring the turn 6♥. Boone fired another 2,600 and was called to bring the river 4♥, which was checked by both players.
Boone showed A♦ 6♦ for the full-house and the opponent mucked his hand.
With only 6,000+ to work with, JR Alquiros shoved on 1,000+ pot built by Tetsuya Tsuhikawa’s pre-flop raise and an opponent’s call. Both Tet and the other opponent folded their hands to give Alquiros the pot. Alquiros, like a true gentleman, showed he had the ladies.
