Seokyoung Lee
The fastest structure of the Main Event was offered at the evening's Flight C with two 60-minutes levels of registration available. Once it closed, the levels clocked in at 20 minutes each which was perfect for night warriors.
As the flight raced toward the money, stacks began to polarize. Only six would advance from a starting field of 42 entries. By the time the final table was formed, Seokyoung Lee aka Tiger, was the clear front runner, already backed by a big stack.
The first to go was Alan King Lun Lau with A ♣️ K ♣️ cracked by Shun Yi Zheng's A ♥️ Q ♣️ that rivered Broadway on a board K ♥️ 8 ♥️ 9 ♣️ J ♣️ 10 ♦️.
Zheng's hot hand continued as he delivered another brutal defeat to bring about the bubble round. On the bitter end was Gyeongbyeong Lee who was all in preflop with J ♣️ J ♦️. Zheng crushed it with 7 ♣️ 8 ♣️ straight on a board A ♦️ J ♥️ 10 ♦️ K ♦️ 9 ♦️.
Down to seven players with one spot to the money, Lee continued to grind to keep his big stack a constant threat. He encountered one particularly troublesome hand when his three-bet drew a four-bet from Tom Verbruggen. Lee tanked, using up seven time chips before folding, saying he had pocket nines. Verbruggen brushed off a sweat and showed him one card, the 5 ♣️.
Kevin Choi
Zheng's knockout spree was put to a hard halt when Kevin Choi's A ♣️ J ♦️ survived against his J ♠️ J ♥️ with an ace on the flop. From there, Zheng continued to plummet. He lost the next showdown with 6 ♣️ 6 ♠️ that could not crack **Chung Howe Sean Tan'**s 8 ♦️ 8 ♠️.
Nirunrut Rachburom
Before the bubble burst, Nirunrut Rachburom wanted in on the action and got involved in a pot against Choi that eventually paid in full. On a board that completed 10 ♣️ J ♥️ 6 ♠️ 7 ♠️ J ♦️, Choi jammed on the turn and Rachburom called off her entire stack with J ♠️ 10 ♥️. Choi had Q ♥️ 10 ♦️.
Shun Yi Zheng
The flight concluded with Zheng sent to the rail by Choi with J ♦️ 10 ♣️ outdrawing A ♥️ 7 ♥️ on a board that ran :Js; K ♣️ 2 ♦️ 8 ♣️ 10 ♣️.
