Eunseok Choi
On the river of a Q ♥️ 6 ♥️ 2 ♠️ J ♣️ A ♥️ board with some 110,000 in the middle, chip leader Eunseok Choi checked. Jiaxian Ye then bet 50,000 and Choi tossed out three time banks right away.
He used them all and ultimately called for Ye to show the A ♦️ J ♠️ for aces and jacks. Choi held the A ♠️ Q ♠️ for aces and queens to further cement his status atop the leaderboard.
Soon after, the players went on their third 15-minute break of the flight. Po Hsun Liao did so without chips as he was knocked out.
