Having defended his big blind, the flop revealed 6♥ 7♠ Q♣. Hwan check-called a 20k continuation bet from the original raiser and saw a turn K♠. His opponent fired another bet and Hwan check-raised to 65k. Facing a call, the river came 8♠ pushing Hwan to bet 70k, two big blinds short for all his opponent’s chips. With a call, Hwan showed 6♦ 8♦ and took down the 340k pot.
