Brian Yoon: 88/ 83Q5 / 9
Per Hildebrand: KK / 678A / 5

Brian Yoon began the post-dinner session as one of the short stacks, but found the perfect start when play resumed.

With play on the stone bubble, Yoon completed and chip leader Per Hildebrand was the only caller.

Yoon bet on fourth street and was called. Yoon fired another bet on fifth street before Hildebrand raised. Yoon was undeterred and called. Yoon then called bets on sixth and seventh street.
