Level 33 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Lich Bui limped in the hijack before Sejin Park raised to 1,200,000. Pierre Merlin was on the button and jammed for his remaining 1,850,000 and Bui made the call. The action was back on Park and he asked if he was allowed to raise. After being told he could only call or fold he opted to call.

The dealer spread a flop of {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and both Bui and Park checked the dry side pot. The {j-Diamonds} hit the turn and Bui checked once more to Park who fired a bet of 2,000,000, which forced Bui out of the hand.

Pierre Merlin: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Sejin Park: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Merlin was ahead on the turn with a pair of jacks but the {8-Diamonds} on the river completed Park's flush to eliminate Merlin in 19th place for $15,615.
