The day's entering chip leader Hogyun Kang opened from hijack then defended after nextdoor neighbor Shen Bo Yu three-bet to 350,000. 

The flop brought more pressure from Yu with a bet of 150,000 on a board of Q ♠️ J ♦️ Q ♦️. Kang defended again then both players checked the turn J ♥️.

It was back to action on the river for Yu with a big bet of 900,000 when the A ♣️ landed. Kang tanked then opted to let go of his hand.
