Double Knockout for Yunkyu Song

Level 13: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Yunkyu Song

Adam Friedman raises to 8,000 and Yunkyu Song then three-bets to 26,000 in the next seat. Julian Selinger jams for 95,000 in the next seat thereafter and Wailiang Tai calls all-in, Friedman folds and Song snap-calls.

Tai's Q♣ Q♠ are up against the T♥ T♦ of Selinger while Song has the best of it with A♥ A♣ .

Song nails the A♦ J♦ 3♦ flop but both opponents are alive, especially after the T♣ turn. However, the 9♣ river changes nothing and Song claims another two victims.

Rob Sherwood Departs Against Yunkyu Song

Level 10: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Rob Sherwood, runner-up of the 2024 WPT World Championship, is unable to spin up a late entry on Day 1b when he runs with A♣ J♥ into the K♥ K♦ of reigning WPT Player of the Year Yunkyu Song. Both players hit the ace-king high flop and that spells the end for Sherwood.

One table over, Thi Bao An Nguyen celebrates winning a big pot and grins "Ace high wins, I got pocket queens to fold". She soars near the top of the leaderboard with a big stack.
