Hilton Bets Somyung Off the River

[user92162]

Preflop, action folded to Sim Somyung on the button who popped it up to 55,000 with David Hilton calling from the small blind. The flop came {q-Clubs}

and Hilton check-called a 65,000 chip bet from Somyung.

Both players checked the {5-Spades}

turn. The

hit the river and Hilton fired out 75,000. That would be enough to induce a fold from Somyung.

Nick Pronk Eliminated in 7th Place ($17,500)

[user75032]

In a battle of the blinds, Dong-bin Han opened preflop to 69,000, then called after Nick Pronk re-raised to 204,000. That took the two men to a highly coordinated flop of {6-Spades}

. Han checked to Pronk, who quickly fired out 270,000. Han tanked for two minutes before re-raising all in. Pronk smirked, then rested his chin on his knuckles as he pondered his decision. He was in the tank for more than a minute before he finally called.

Han: {A-Clubs}

Pronk:

Han showed some creativity and not much else with his ace-high. Pronk showed creativity as well, with bottom pair and a gutshot straight draw. Improbably, he was in the lead. Han stood over the table to watch the turn fall {4-Clubs}

, no help for him. Then he called out "JACK!" before the river hit. It wasn't a jack, but it was a helpful card -- the {A-Hearts}

. Pronk looked sick to his stomach but shook Han's hand and left the tournament in 7th place.

Pagsuyuin's Flush Doesn't Come

[user75032]

Mark Pagsuyuin took a curious line in a three-way pot against Sim Somyung and David Hilton, but it didn't work out for him. Hilton opened preflop to 64,000 from under the gun before Pagsuyuin and Somyung called out of the blinds. On a flop of {3-Diamonds}
