With the next level nearly coming to an end, Young Min Kang pushed all-in for 710,000 from under the gun. The action folded all the way to Thanh Cao Nguyen in the big blind and he called.

Young Min Kang: 4 ♠️ 4 ♦️

Thanh Cao Nguyen: A ♠️ Q ♦️

"Fair fight," someone else on the outer table said.

Kang remained ahead on the K ♠️ 8 ♣️ 2 ♦️ flop and 10 ♣️ turn. Nguyen needed an ace, queen or jack to deal the final blow and found the A ♦️ river to do so.

Kang departed in 14th place for PHP 368,700.
