Double up for Day 1A chip leader Ham Heung Chul through Norbert Koh. It opened with Koh raising to 24k, called by button Chul and bb Huy Pham. At the flop 5♥ J♥ 8♠, Koh bet 30k, Chul called, Pham check-folded. On the turn 8c}, Koh slid out 100k which was more than enough to cover Chul’s 69k remaining stack. Chul risked it.
Chul 9♦ 9♥
Koh Q♠ 9♣
The river K♥ was good to Chul for a double up to 464k.
