Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A few hands after doubling up through Timothy Miles, Byung Eun Shin attempted to take more chips from his opponent.

Miles immediately called to put his tournament life at stake, and the cards were tabled.

Timothy Miles: K5
Byung Eun Shin: 108

The dealer fanned 324A7 on the board, leaving Miles’ king ahead and giving him the double up.

Shin Hits Runner-Runner for Double Up

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Byung Eun Shin was the shortest stack on Day 3, and he made a move to double up.

Shin raised under the gun to 200,000 but was met by Timothy Miles’ three-bet of 500,000. Action folded back to Shin, who moved all in and Miles snap-called.

Byung Eun Shin: A4
Timothy Miles: KK

Shin was behind before the flop and a 597 board, but 2 on the turn gave him a gut-shot draw to the river. He hit the runner-runner when 3 appeared, giving him a wheel and a double up.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Qiang Xu opened to 200,000 before calling a three-bet from Ankit Ahuja in the small blind and both took a flop of 105J.

Ahuja checked-called a bet of 200,000 from Xu and the pair went to a turn card of the 7. Action checked through to see a river card that was the J. Ahuja checked to Xu who opted on an over-bet totaling 1,325,000.

Valentino Konakchiev entered Day 3 with the eighth-most chips in play (2,475,000), but he quickly added chips as Level 28 began.
