Dongjoon Hwang opened to 14,000 and was then three-bet to 55,000 by George Karvounis in the small blind. After some thought, Hwang made the call and the two went to the flop of [7d8d5s], where the action went check-check.
On the turn [8s], Karvounis checked, Hwang bet 30,000, and Karvounis called.
The river was the [Qh] and the action went check-check again.
"Ace-high," Karvounis announced and flipped over [AcKd], but Hwang rolled over [AsQh] to take the pot with his queen.
The very next hand, Karvounis moved all in with king-eight and was called by Loc Vo with pocket eights to put him at risk on the bubble.
The board failed to improve Karvounis and he was sent to the rail on the bubble to send the remaining players into the money.
Hwang - 565,000
Vo - 470,000
