No Action

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

Something must have happened on the break that really slowed these guys down, because there has not been a flop seen for the last ten minutes.

Kwon's Kings Go Down

Rafael Rodrigo
Rafael Rodrigo

From middle position, Rafael Rodrigo moved all in for 343,000. Although we did just report than no flops have been seen this level yet, this is the fourth time since the break that Rodrigo has moved all in preflop. The first three went uncalled, but Taewook Kwon woke up with the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} in the big blind this time and had Rodrigo on the ropes with the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Rodrigo took the lead with top pair. The turn {4-Diamonds} and river {2-Hearts} were both no help to Kwon and he was knocked all the way down to 190,000 in chips.

Taewook Kwon Eliminated in 7th Place (KRW 27,000,000)

Andrew Kim raised to over four times the big blind from the hijack seat to open up the action, making it 100,000 to go. In the small blind, Taewook Kwon reraised all in for a little less than 200,000 and Kim called.

Kim: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Kwon: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

Althogh Kwon's cheering section rooted loud and hard for Kwon to win the hand, the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades} board didn't give him what he needed and he was eliminated in seventh place.

Kwon earned KRW 27,000,000 for his finish while Kim moved to nearly two million in chips.

Rodrigo Keeps Up

Sasa Zorc was under the gun when he opened it up to 50,000. A call came from Moritz Ortmann in the small blind, along with Rafael Rodrigo in the big blind.

Flop: {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

On the flop, Ortmann checked and Rodrigo led for 60,000. A call from Zorc would see Ortmann's cards fly into the muck as the {4-Diamonds} turn was dealt. Rodrigo would not slow down here, taking his time to cut out a bet of 154,000. It was too much for Zorc who folded and sent the pot to Rodrigo.

Jose Severino Eliminated in 6th Place (KRW 34,000,000)

Jose Severino - 6th Place
Jose Severino - 6th Place

Jose Severino's stack was getting smaller and smaller this afternoon and unfortunately for the player from Panama, it is now all over.

Severino shoved his stack from the cutoff holding {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and unluckily ran into Moritz Ortmann's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} on the button. As the cards were tabled the dealer routinely began dealing out the board in fast succession. So efficient are the dealers here at the 2012 APPT Seoul Main Event that there is no time for the rail to enjoy the sweat of the final table. One of the tournament directors told the dealer to slow down and the board was eventually spread {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

With no help for Severino he goes home in 6th place, picking up KRW 34,000,000.

Kim Takes One from Zorc

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

Action folded to Sasa Zorc in the small blind and he raised to 55,000. Andrew Kim called from the big blind and the two players watched the flop come {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. After Zorc continuation bet 40,000, Kim raised to 125,000. Zorc gave it up and gave a look to his friend on the rail as if to say, "What do you expect me to do?"
