The hand opened with a raise from Son at under the gun that Alfonso three-bet from middle position. Big blind Shinichiro Kano called and Son called to make it a three-way to the flop with 2,050,000 in the pot.
When the dealer fanned 2 ♦️ 10 ♠️ 2 ♥️, Son bet 180,000 and only Alfonso called to see the turn land 5 ♥️. Again Son led for 1,500,000 and this time Alfonso answered with a shove. Son called.
Juhyung Son: K ♣️ K ♥️
Billy Alfonso: 3 ♣️ 3 ♥️
With the river 6 ♣️, Alfonso plunged to six big blinds while Son soared to an overwhelming lead.
Following that hand, Alfonso went all in and fell to Chihwei Fan with ten-five suited spades missing the mark against Fan's ace-queen.
