Choi's Roller Coaster Commences Again
Hun Tae Choi clashed with Jin Woo Kim and bet-jammed for 49,000 on the 9♠8♦5♥ flop for Kim to call with the covering stack.
Hun Tae Choi: J♥7♥
Jin Woo Kim: 9♥8♣
"Flush draw, straight draw," an excited Choi yelled but the flush draw only came on the 3♥ turn. No heart but the 6♣ river came to the rescue as Choi celebrated a double.
He was then all-in soon after with the superior stack, looking up Jennifer Cassell for 61,000.
Cassell had her A♣K♦ already exposed and Choi glanced at her, seemingly asking for permission to start his show again. He then grabbed his cards, smashed them in the middle of the table and yelled "pocket tens", revealing 10♠10♥.
The 8♦4♦2♦ flop gave Cassell the flush draw on top and she improved with the K♣ turn and A♦ river. Choi took it well when Cassell now leaped out of her seat to do a little happy dance as players from nearby tables clapped.
To top it off, Choi won the next all-in showdown to win back some chips.
