Men observe a poker game, one animatedly reacts while holding a phone.

Another takedown for Juhyung Son to close out the day just under the leader Kai Lin Wei. The hand opened with a 350,000 raise from under the gun Lavonne Watkins that was met with a three-bet to 900,000 by Wei. On the big blind, Son four-bet shoved to successfully push out Watkins. 

Action back on Wei, he asked for a count which was confirmed at 4,800,000, well below his massive stack, then he called saying, “I cannot fold this.”

Juhyung Son: 10 ♦️ 10 ♥️

Kai Lin Wei: A ♠️ K ♦️

Son was flipping for his tournament life with the board running 9 ♦️ 7 ♥️ 6 ♣️ 3 ♠️ 5 ♥️, Wei missed and Son celebrated his exciting win.
