Sung Pil Kim
Stephen Winters limped his A♦Q♠ from the small blind and Sung Pil Kim shoved his 10♦9♦ all in from the big blind for 50,800,000. Winters made the call and the dealer put out a flop and turn of 3♦3♥6♣K♦, Kim seemed all but eliminated when the 10♣ came on the river and secured him a double up.

Stephen Winters limped on the button with A♣10♦, prompting Sung Pil Kim to follow suit in the small blind with 4♣2♣.
James Morgan, who was in the big blind with A♠10♠, had other ideas and moved all in.
Winters, who had Morgan covered, snap-called, while Kim folded.
James Morgan: A♠10♠
Stephen Winters: A♣10♦
The dealer placed A♥9♦3♠ on the board, pairing both players’ ace. The Q♠ on the turn, however, spiced up the hand with Morgan picking up the nut flush draw.
But the 9♥ on the turn meant a chopped pot between Winters and Morgan.

Brendon Herrick
Brendon Herrick raised his J♥J♦ to 9,500,000 from the button and was three-bet by Jordan Johnson from the small blind. Herrick then four-bet all in for 43,300,000. Johnson made the call with his 10♠7♠.
The two players saw the flop of 3♠Q♠8♦ which brought a bit of a sweat, but ultimately the board ran out 8♣2♣ and Herrick secured the double up.
