There was commotion over on table 17 after Taehwan Kim had pushed all-in and Jing Yu Huang rejammed for 525,000 on the button. Kim discovered that his cards had been swiped by the dealer with pending action behind and it took numerous minutes to try and solve the mishap.

Ultimately, the blinds both folded and Kim forfeited one blind only to stay in contention. Huang flashed the A ♦️ K ♦️ before raking in the pot.

"Nice dealer," Kim exclaimed.

The action is already hand for hand three away from the money due to stalling. It is past three in the morning, by the way.

Player Chip Count
Jing Yu Huang 740,000
Taehwan Kim 250,000
