Two tables were all in near simultaneous starting with Table 2 where Chaehun Ryu opened 350,000 and got pushed by Hao Lin. Ryu looked over at Table 3 and noticed that heavy action was also taking place and decided to wait to see the result.
Yao Hou Chun
Action at Table 3 had Hyeongmin Yu open for 175,000 and Yao Hou Chun three-bet to 755,000. Back on Yu, tanked then shoved. Chun was covered and like Ryu at the other table, laid out his time-banks to await the result of the other table.
Ryu realized that Chun had more time-banks than him and said, “I have to call. I have less time banks.”
Chaehun Ryu: A ♠️ Tc:
Hao Lin: K ♦️ 8 ♠️
Though Ryu was ahead, he sweat it out as Lin was live. With the board running Q ♦️ Ac: 7 ♦️ 6 ♣️ 2 ♣️, he was safe from the rail and doubled through.
At the other table, Chun called with less behind.
Yao Hao Chun: 8 ♣️ 8 ♠️
Hyeongmin Yu: J ♦️ 10 ♦️
The flip went Chun's way on a board that ran 6 ♠️ 2 ♠️ 6 ♣️ 4 ♣️ Q ♠️.
