Royal Flush Creates a Buzz
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
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.
