From cutoff, Seokyoung Lee slid out a min-raise only to be challenged with a three-bet to 35,000 from small blind player Kai Yang. With plenty of chips behind, Lee went ahead with the call to take the bout to the flop.

After the board ran J ♣️ 6 ♦️ Q ♥️, Yang continued the aggression for 14,000 then was stunned when Lee fired a raise to 30,000. Yang did not back down and called. 

With the turn coming 2 ♠️, Yang checked it then tanked after Lee continued for 50,000. Before the clock ran out, Yang surrendered his hand.
