Park Takes Huge Chip Lead After Biggest Pot of Tournament

Level 28
Kijoon Park
Kijoon Park

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Over 1,500,000 chips were in the pot before a flop was even spread as Taylor Paur raised under the gun, Nick Guagenti three-bet from middle position, and then Kijoon Park made it four bets from the cutoff with both Paur and Guagenti calling.

The flop came {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and after action was checked to Park, who bet in position, Paur called and then Guagenti raised. Both his opponents called and almost 2,500,000 was now in the pot.

On the {10-Clubs} turn, ensuring no low would be possible and the already massive pot would be scooped, things got even bigger.

This time it was Guagenti making the first bet. Park then called and now it was Paur putting in the raise. Both opponents called and just under another 1,500,000 was in the middle.

The river paired the board with the {10-Hearts} and after Paur now checked and Guagenti bet, it was Park's turn to raise.

Paur quickly folded, but Guagenti, down to under 400,000 left, needed several minutes to think.

He frustratedly came to the decision of a fold, awarding the massive over four million chip pot to Park, who now has a commanding lead over his six remaining opponents.

Akkari Resists, His Rail Wakes Up

Level 28

Limit Holdem

Andre Akkari opened in late position and Taylor Paur raised from the button. The Brazilian called to see a flop.

{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} was checked by Akkari, Paur bet and Akkari check-raised. Paur thought about it for a while, then he folded.

The Brazilian rail moved from this final table, with Andre Akkari, to another one, on event #53 with two Brazilian players, and it's all about "vamoooo" in the Bally's Room now.

Park Over Five Million

Level 27

Kijoon Park

Seven Card Stud

Kijoon Park: {x-}{x-}/{3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Phil Long: {x-}{x-}/{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} - folded fifth street
Nick Guagenti: {x-}{x-}/{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} - folded fifth street

After Phil Long completed and Nick Guagenti called, Kijoon Park defended his bring-in.

Guagenti picked up an ace on fourth street and bet, only to be called by both opponents.

On fifth street, Park paired his door card three and led right out. Long quickly folded, but Guagenti took some time before making his decision.

Ultimately he chose to fold rather than commit another 200,000 chips and maybe more to the pot as Park now crosses the five million chip mark as pot sizes are growing as the night goes on and the blinds and limits rise steeply.

Chow Doubles Through Bach

Level 27
Michael Chow
Michael Chow

No-Limit Hold'em

Michael Chow moved all in from the cutoff for 700,000 and was instantly called by David Bach in the big blind.

Michael Chow: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
David Bach: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop gave Bach the advantage in the flip as it came {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The turn brought the {a-Spades}, giving Bach two pair, but also giving Chow hope with a flush draw.

The {j-Spades} sailed in on the river to give Chow the backdoor flush and give him a huge double-up.

Bach Gets it Back

Level 27

Seven Card Stud 8 or Better

David Bach: {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}/{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Kijoon Park: {x-}{x-}{x-}/{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Phil Long: {x-}{x-}/{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} - folded fourth street

Kijoon Park defended his bring-in after Phil Long raised and David Bach called.

On fourth street, picking up an ace, Park led out. Long then folded and Bach raised. Park made the call to see fifth street.

The players each checked, then on sixth, Park check-called a bet from Bach, then did so again on seventh street.

Bach announced a full house of deuces full of eights, which scooped the pot earning him back the chips he lost in their previous encounter.

Park Wins Another Big Pot

Level 27

Seven Card Stud 8 or Better

David Bach: {x-}{x-}/{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}/{x-}
Kijoon Park: {x-}{x-}/{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}/{x-}

On the seventh street, Kijoon Park bet and David Bach check-raised. Bach looked less than excited to call the three-bet on seventh but eventually, he obliged. Park showed {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a full house and David Bach could only muck his hand.
