Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Pyeongkang Kim

Marco Johnson opened to 400,000 from middle position and Pyeongkang Kim moved all in for his remaining stack of approximately 1,400,000 from the big blind. Johnson snap-called and the players flipped their cards.

Pyeongkang Kim: 5♣5♠All in
Marco Johnson: A♣Q♥

Kim was hoping to hold with pocket fives, but things were looking tricky after the flop came A♠A♥10♥. Kim needed to see a five to keep him alive, but the Q♣ turn locked Johnson up the pot having flopped trips and turned the boat. The Q♠ river was placed as Kim stood from the table, having hit the rail in eighth place for $57,780.

Marco Johnson opened to 400,000 on the button and Faraz Jaka defened his big blind.

A 5♦10♦2♠ flop saw Jaka check-call a 300,000 bet from Johnson, to see the K♦ turn. Jaka checked again and Johnson bet 1,050,000.

Jaka paid to see the 10♥ river and then opted to bet out 450,000. Johnson took some time before finding a fold, passing another pot across to Jaka.

The A♣6♦9♠ flop was good for Magsakay and they were looking in a good position to hold for the double. Ishida didn't improve on the A♦ turn or 10♥ river and Magsakay locked up the double.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Marco Johnson raised to 400,000 in middle position, Faraz Jaka called in the cutoff, and Pyeongkang Kim defended in the big blind.

The flop came 5♣5♥J♦ and it checked to Jaka, who bet 350,000. Only Johnson continued to the J♠ turn, where both players checked.

On the 8♦ river, Johnson bet 300,000 and Jaka thought for a moment before making the call. He mucked his cards when Johnson turned over A♣J♥ for the full house.

Level 30 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Chino Rheem opened to 300,000 from early position and Faraz Jaka called from the big blind.

The 2♦4♦6♠ flop was bet out by Jaka for 225,000 and Rheem called. A 5♦ turn was checked quickly by both to see the 9♥ river and Jaka check-raised to 1,700,000 after Rheem bet 400,000.

Action was back on Rheem and he went into a near 3-minute tank. He stood from the table, took a sip from his drink and looked at the board remarking "Fu**". Rheem checked his hand, looked at Jaka who was starting at the board and eventually lifted his cards in the air and threw them into the muck.

After the hand Rheem said to himself "It was a bad river bet... I got greedy".

Johnson eventually gave up his hand and the pot was pushed Magsakay's way.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Pyeongkang Kim raised to 300,000 in the hijack and was called by Marco Johnson in the small blind and Kenzo Ishida in the big blind.

The 10♣10♦8♦ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn, where Johnson led out for 350,000. Ishida folded and Kim raised to 1,000,000. Johnson then reraised to 1,800,000 and Kim called bringing the 4♦ river, which completed both straight and flush draws.

Johnson thought for a moment before moving all in to put Kim at risk, who had 2,325,000 behind. Kim counted out his chips and tossed his card into the muck. Johnson showed 9♠9♦ as he dragged in the pot.

"Might have been the best hand," said Chino Rheem, before Kim indicated that he had ace-eight.

Faraz Jaka opened to 300,000 on the button and Chino Rheem three-bet shoved for around ten million, covering Jaka's entire 3,130,000 stack. Jaka snapped him off.

Faraz Jaka: A♠A♣All in
Chino Rheem: K♠J♦

Rheem was way behind after seeing Jaka woke up with pocket aces and Jaka held on the 4♠Q♥5♦ flop, 7♣ turn and 7♦ river.

After the hand Jaka said he was "Waiting for Aces". He continued to jest by saying "I can now increase the threshold to Kings and Aces".

A member of the rail also shouted to the table "Tip that dealer!".
