Soohyeok Lee
Among the players that was seated by the starting buzzer was Soohyeok Lee who already has two trophies under his belt having won the Pandora's Mystery Bounty and a Hyper Turbo side event. Lee hasn't had much luck at the main event though having fallen at the previous flights. His troubles continued as he became the first bust of the day just twenty minutes into the flight.
Luke Dainton
The takedown happened in two hands with a majority of Lee's chips claimed by Luke Dainton. As retold by Dainton, he called a raise from a player at under the gun then Lee three-bet to 10,000. Under the gun folded and Dainton called.
On a board that completed J-10-7-4-4 Lee barreled 12,500 on the flop and another 35,000 on the turn, Dainton check-called both then led on the river for 11,000. Lee called with pocket fives, Dainton had pocket nines.
Down to just 25,000, Lee shoved with pocket threes into Jintae Yang's pocket aces.
