With a pot of around 114,000 brewed by the turn 9 ♦️ 9 ♣️ Q ♦️ 8 ♥️, Woo Hyon Shin bet a light 25,000 and Yoshiki Shibata slid out the call to bring the river 10 ♣️.

Shin fired again, making it 75,000, sending Shibata deep in the tank. After spending three time chips, he found reason to call and flipped open Q ♥️ 8 ♦️ two pair.

Shin had him beat with J ♣️ J ♠️ straight to scoop up the pot and take the lead.
