Chang Claims Control

Michael Chang raised under the gun to 25,000, before Hyoung Jin Nam reraised to 80,000 from the big blind. Chang thought for a moment before he made the call.

The flop arrived {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades} and Nam led out with a bet of 65,000 and Chang made the call. The turn was a dangerous looking {8-Spades}. Nam fired a second barrel worth a hefty 150,000, sending Chang into deep deliberation. After a few minutes he made the call, as the audience "oooohed" over the biggest pot of this final table to date.

The river bricked the {2-Hearts} and this time is was Nam who deliberated over his decision. After a few minutes Nam made a very strange bet of only 10,000 chips. Chang instantly moved all in, and almost just as quickly Nam's cards were into the muck. Just like that, the pot was shipped to Chang to extend his chip stack to well over the one million mark.
