As one of the chip leaders at the close of registration, Wongyu Kang fattened up his stack further by successfully defending out of the small blind.
It opened with a raise of 8,000 from button Andrew Han that got called by Kang and big blind Seokyoung Lee. On a flop of A ♦️ Q ♦️ 5 ♣️, Han was given the green light and c-bet that only Kang called to keep him honest.
The turn 2 ♠️ put Han to the test with Kang leading out 17,000. Han tanked for one time-bank then opted to let Kang have the pot.
