Short Day at the Office for Jung

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Seung Mook Jung was among the recent entries but lost two big pots to hit the rail. First he folded to a shove by Supitong Popiyukkul on the river of a {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} board.

Then he created a pot of more than 200,000 until the {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} turn against Hoang Huy Tran. Jung checked the {7-Spades} river and sigh-called all-in when Tran jammed to get shown the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for aces and fives. Jung nodded, briefly showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and quickly left the tournament area.
