Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Following a flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Alex Kulev checked and then called a bet worth 40,000 by Daewoong Song. The {2-Clubs} followed on the turn and Kulev checked once more for Song to then bet 45,000. Kulev used a time bank extension and check-raised to 195,000. Song, likewise, needed 30 seconds before making the call and they headed to the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Kulev now checked and Song used another time bank before jamming. With a smile on the face hidden behind the face mask, Kulev sent his cards into the muck.

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Andras Nemeth open-jammed from the button for 153,000. Daewoong Song re-shoved his big stack from the small blind. Teun Mulder thought for several moments in the big blind but elected to not put his stack at risk and folded.
