Tae Hoon Han is only going up for Day 2, and he just won a sizeable pot against Sahil Chuttani. Han raised from the hijack preflop and Chuttani called from the very next seat, while everybody else folded on the table.

The flop came {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and Han elected to check, with Chuttani betting 13,000. Han called and the {a-Spades} fell on the turn.

Han checked again, and Chuttani bet this time 24,000, bringing the second check-call for the New Zealander.

The {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river and Han checked for a third time. Chuttani thought about it for a long time, another player called the clock on him and a couple of seconds later the Indian slipped a bet of 76,000 chips. Han snap-called showing {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} while Chuttani opened his {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for just king-high.

With this pot Tae Hoon Han is up to 650,000, while Sahil Chuttani is left with 120,000.

It took three all in and calls, for the bubble to burst, here in the 2019 PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour Jeju Main Event. There was a double-up for the short stack player, a split-pot and an elimination.

Firstly, a short-stack player was in the big blind with the small blind shoving on him. The at-risk player picked up {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and was in great shape versus his opponent's {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The dealer spread the {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}flop and the {10-Spades} turn, meaning the at-risk player had to fade all the remaining nines of the deck in order to stay alive, which he did when the {k-Diamonds} fell on the river.

In the next hand, there were two all-ins on two different tables, with one of them bringing in the end of the bubble. In the first of the two hands, there were two players in on the flop, with {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} on the board. The short-stack player had bet 37,000 and his opponent put him all in for 60,000 more. The short stack player called with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was in the verge of elimination, when his opponent tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}, ready to out-kick his opponent.

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn was the perfect lifeboat for the short-stack, and the {q-Spades} on the river would have given him the pot if the turn was not a full-house for both players!

The dealer on the table just three feet away was waiting, as per the instructions of the tournament director, for the first all-in to finish. After the hand was over it was Xiaofeng Jiang who was the player at risk, having shoved and got a call from his neighbor in the cutoff.

Xiaofeng Jiang: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Cutoff Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Jiang kept his lead in the hand, getting closer to the double up. However, the {k-Hearts} on the turn was a disaster, at least from Jiang's perspective, as now he had to find one of the two remaining tens in the deck to stay alive. The {6-Diamonds} in the river was the card that wrote his epilogue in the event, as he left just one spot shy of the payouts.

The 41 remaining players have all secured the minimum payment of KRW 4,345,000 (~$3,765).

Clock Every Hand

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There has been an incident in a table where a player was stalling in each and every of his decisions. Shawn Busse is in the same table, and he asked for the clock in one of the last hands. The tournament director came on the table, and Busse informed him that actually he wanted to call the clock on every hand on him, since he is doing it even before the money bubble.

The director started counting the clock on the current hand, and informed the player that he will have 15 seconds in all his future hands if he keeps on doing this.

Finally, he folded and play continued in the table, while he seemed ready to obey as he folded really quick on the next hand. 33 players remain in the Main Event, and there is a pay-jump for the 32nd finisher.

Level: 19

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 10,000

Jian Liu Eliminated in 32nd Place KRW 5,135,000 (~$4,400)

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jian Liu is the player who departed from the felt in 32nd place, meaning that he received the second pay jump of the event. He was left with seven big blinds and shoved with nines, only to get called by kings and lost the pot.

A couple of hands earlier, Xiaosheng Zheng, the player who was stalling for his decisions, busted in 33rd place, unable to reach the pay jump.
