Daeyoung Park raised to 1,000,000 with A ♠️ 7 ♠️ on the button and Yu Jui Chen flatted the K ♠️ 8 ♣️ to check the Q ♠️ 5 ♠️ 3 ♣️ flop. Park bet 800,000 with his nut flush draw and Chen let go.
The next interesting scenario unfolded from a button raise to 1,200,000 with the 8 ♠️ 8 ♣️ by Chen and the big blind defend by Park with the K ♥️ Q ♣️ . They checked to the J ♦️ 8 ♥️ 7 ♣️ 9 ♣️ A ♥️ on which Chen checked behind with his set on the four card straight board.
Chen smashed more flops in the next few minutes and then found the A ♠️ J ♥️ to limp in, Park knuckled back the K ♠️ 9 ♥️ to the 10 ♦️ 7 ♥️ 2 ♦️ flop.
Park raised the button with the J ♥️ 9 ♥️ for a smooth million and Chen defended the K ♠️ 6 ♠️ to the 10 ♠️ 9 ♠️ 4 ♦️ flop that both players elected to check. On the 3 ♥️ turn, Chen bet 1,500,000 with his flush draw and Park called with the second pair.
The board paired with the 4 ♥️ river and they checked it down for Park to regain some chips. Overall, all of these hands basically went back to where it was before and they headed into the first break of heads-up.
When the action resumes, the blinds will be 250,000-500,000/500,000.
