Jeon Takes from Finkenrath

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Late yesterday, Iona Finkenrath had made most chips by building up bigger pots but barely having to go to showdown. The German tried to apply the same strategy today as well and faced Seung Soo Jeon. They created a pot of 400,000 to the {Q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Jeon checked from the hijack seat.

Finkenrath bet 100,000 from the button and received a reluctant call by the Korean. "You win," the German immediately said and mucked his cards. Jeon did not have to show in order to claim the chips, but still flashed the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} to get atop the counts.

Advani Busts Tay

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ashley Tay
Ashley Tay

Ashley Tay moved all in for his last 101,000 from the button and Romit Advani asked the dealer for the count before reluctantly calling and turning over his {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} out of the big blind. Tan had two high cards in {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} but the board ran out {2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Spades} to send the Malaysian to the rail in 14th place.

Jeon Tilted

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Seung Soo Jeon raised from the cutoff and was called by chip leader Iona Finkenrath in the small blind. The German instantly shoved the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop for effectively one third of his stack. Jeon stood up from the table, mastered the board while his opponent sipped on a can of Red Bull.

Ultimately the Korean mucked and Finkenrath smiled at him: "I hope(d) you call me."

Jeon Doubles Lim; Busts with Aces After

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Seung Soo Jeon
Seung Soo Jeon

After the previous action with Iona Finkenrath, Seung Soo Jeon raised from the hijack and faced the 121,000-three-bet of Aaron Lim from one sear over. Jeon moved all in and Lim quickly pushed forward his stack for the call.

Jeon: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Lim: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

A loud sigh from Jeon emerged and the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{A-Hearts} flop was a disaster for him. It was all over after the {5-Hearts} turn and Lim even made the nut flush with the {3-Hearts} river. Once the stacks were counted, Lim was all in for 496,000 and Jeon had less than two big blinds left.

The next hand the Korean moved all in blind for 35,000 and laughed. "No need to look." Winfred Yu clicked it to 48,000 from the button and Terry Fan called in the big blind. Both players checked down the {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} board and Yu showed his {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} first. Then Fan tabled {2-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a straight and Jeon finally turned over his cards, smashing the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} to the table. What a drama ...

Down to 12 players!
