A wild preflop betting war saw Hyung Soo Lim risk his tournament life and chip leader Kilian Loffler flex his stack, only for both players to split it up!
Matas Kaä Inskas opened the action, followed by a three bet to 28,000 from Jing Gu Huang. Next to act, Lim unleashed a four bet shove for 279,000.
Action not done. Sitting in the big blind, Loffler peeked at his cards then went into the tank. He came out firing a massive five bet to 600,000. This was enough to chase away both Inskas and Huang with Huang open-folding J ♦️ J ♠️.
Their hole cards were then exposed for a classic collision as Lim tabled A ♦️ K ♦️ against Loffler's A ♣️ K ♣️. Neither player improved on the rainbow runout for a split pot after all that preflop drama.
They did get a small boost due to the preflop raisers.
