Choi Survives the Rollercoaster
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Chahn Jung opened to 800,000 from the cutoff and Yoon Choi moved all in for their remaining 1,575,000 on the button. Jung called and the players went heads up to showdown.
Yoon Choi: 8♣8♠
Chahn Jung: K♠10♥
Choi stood to watch the runout and said "Good luck!" to Jung as the cards were tabled.
The K♥J♦9♠ flop saw Jung take the lead and Choi slipped behind. The 9♦ turn wasn't any help for Choi but he binked the eight on the 8♥ river to keep his seat in the tournament.
