Tae Jun Noh

Tae Jun Noh has closed Van Marcus' chip lead to a mere 200,000 chips after winning a huge pot that went to a river showdown. Noh made it 80,000 to go preflop; Marcus called.

Both players checked the flop. With the board showing {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

on the turn, Marcus led out for 115,000. Noh quickly called. The river {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

paired the board and brought a bet of 220,000 from Marcus. Noh looked pained but called anyway. As soon as he did, Marcus rapped the table "good call". Noh showed {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

for two pair.

As a result of this hand, Marcus' count dropped to 1.5 million and Noh's increased to 1.3 million.
