Industry Veterans Play Poker, Too

It probably goes without saying (but we'll say it anyway) that most people connected with the poker industry like to play poker. Kil Hoon Hwang, in the field at Table 3, is employed on the "operational side" of PokerStars in Korea. He's had a bit of a struggle today, attempting a river bluff-raise on a board of {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}. His opponent made an easy call with {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}, scooping the pot when Hwang showed only {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds}.

Hwang later mounted a bit of a comeback, taking down a pot with an all in bet on the turn of a {9-Spades} {3-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} board. He sits behind approximately 9,000 chips right now.
