Hand #30 - Luke Stanford

Nathanael Seet had the button in Seat 2. Luke Stanford limped in under the gun. Matthew Konnecke completed from the small blind and Wang Jung checked his option.

The flop came {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Konnecke and Jung checked to Stanford. Luke fired a bet and both players quickly flung their cards into the muck.

Hand #31 - Wang Jung

Matthew Konnecke had the button in Seat 4. Wang Jung raised to 32,000 and Luke Stanford called from the big blind. The flop came {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {8-Spades}. Jung led for 60,000 and Stanford called.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and Jung led for 120,000 this time. Stanford again called.

The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Jung bet 300,000. Stanford stood from his chair and gave a big exhale as he thought out his decision. After a moment, he sat back in his chair and fiddled around counting his chips. He then stood once more, turned his chair around, and knelt with his arms crossed on the back of the chair, hunched over in deep concentration.

A minute passed and Stanford went for a walk, about 30 feet away, to gander at the tournament clock for some more information. When he returned, he sat back in his chair and took another few minutes before calling the clock on himself.

With 15 seconds left to act, Stanford folded. Jung quickly turned up the {9-Hearts} {5-Spades} for a stone cold bluff and took the pot. He is the first player over one million chips.
