Runcan's River Bet Takes the Pot
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
On a board of J♣10♣4♠9♠ and a pot of around 300,000, Seunghyun Nam fired 125,000 under the gun after a check from Paul Runcan in the big blind. Travis Hartshorn on the button called and so did Runcan to check the last street.
Runcan checked the 3♣ river prompting Nam to continue the action with a 270,000 bet. Hartshorn called once again sending Runcan to the tank. After a few seconds of thought, Runcan decided to raise to 1,265,000, making Nam stare at him mulling over the situation.
Nam eventually surrendered his hand and so did Hartshorn awarding the pot to Runcan.
