Battle of the blinds with 20,000 in front of big blind Jaegeol Cho and small blind Chien Te Lee punching back with a shove for 115,000. Cho was covered by a hair with 109,500 in total. 

After deliberating that cost him three time-banks, Cho risked his tournament life and was flipping with a fifty-fifty chance.

Jaegeol Cho: A ♣️ Q ♦️

Chien Te Lee: J ♠️ J ♦️

Cho's chances slipped when the flop came 8 ♣️ 9 ♦️ 5 ♠️ and further down on the turn 3 ♣️. With the river K ♦️, he was eliminated while Lee shipped a near double up.
