The action of this hand leading to the river was recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.
Chun Kwan opened to 16,000 from early position before Yoon Choi three-bet to 47,000 from the next seat over. Joan Crespi responded with a four-bet to 140,000 from the small blind, which got a fold from Kwan. Choi stayed in the hand with a call.
Crespi bet 90,000 on the 8♠6♦K♠ flop before Choi followed with a call.
The J♥ turn led to a check from Crespi, but Choi was still in the mood to put chips in the pot as he wagered 140,000. Crespi came along with a call.
Crespi checked again on the 5♥ river. Choi put it all on the line when he jammed for his remaining 247,000. Crespi asked for a count before he made the call to put Choi at risk.
Choi showed K♣K♥ for top set, while Crespi showed he made a hero call with 10♣10♥ to award the huge pot to Choi.
