Hong Runs Good
Pei Li opened to 200,000 and got two callers in the blinds, Jonathan Stoeber in small and Hyunil Hong in big.
The all saw a flop 4♣7♣8♦. After the blinds checked, Li shoved all-in for 50,000 and got called by both players once again.
The turn 3♦ was knuckled but on the river 10♦ Hong bet 125,000 after action was passed to him, creating a side pot. Stoeber folded.
Hong showed Q♦6♦ for a flush and, unable to be that hand, Li turned over J♣10♠ and left the table.
On the very next hand, Lakshay Aggrawal under the gun shoved all-in for 450,000. With action folded to the small blind, Hong called heading to showdown.
Lakshay Aggrawal: 6♠6♦
Hyunil Hong: J♠J♥
Hong caught set on the flop 9♠3♦J♦ making Aggrawal pack his bags. The runout 3♠9♦ further improved Hong's hand to a full house eliminating Aggrawal in the process.
