Royal Flush Creates a Buzz

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

The action escalated with both players pushing their stacks to the center of the felt on the turn.

The board showed J T 2 3 , and with around 30,000 already in the pot, Woon Yeo shoved all-in from the small blind. Quang Khiem Nguyen quickly called, putting his tournament life on the line.


Quang Khiem Nguyen: K Q

Woon Yeo: 3 3


Yeo had hit a set of threes on the turn, but with the three also being a heart, Nguyen completed a flush. Yeo hoped for a miracle, but the river brought the A , transforming Nguyen's hand into an unbeatable Royal Flush.

The table erupted in excitement, with even Yeo offering a smile as he graciously surrendered his chips to Nguyen.

Woo Rivers a Straight

Level 8: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

Ruihan Cheng raised to 1,200 from middle position and received two callers from the blind, Quang Kiem Nguyen and Gukhwan Woo.

On the flop of 9 5 A , three players checked through to see the 4 fall on the turn, which was another check round.

The river brought a 3 , and they all checked again to a free showdown. Nguyen tabled king-high with K J , but it was no match for a straight from Woo’s Q 2 , leaving Cheng to much his hand.
