Team Korea

Daniel Lee (Korea) raises from the cutoff to 25,000, Luigi Knoppers (Netherlands) moves all in from the small blind for about 320,000, and Lee thinks for about 15 seconds before using one of his two-minute Team Timeouts.

Lee leaves the table to discuss the situation with his teammates, and he comes back after a minute or so and quickly calls all in for about 260,000 with Club ADiamond Q.

Knoppers turns over Heart 8Club 8, and it’s a race situation. Lee needs to improve to keep Team Korea in the tournament.

The board comes Diamond 8Spade 6Club 4Club 9Heart Q, and Knoppers flops a set of eights to win the pot for Team Netherlands and eliminate Team Korea in sixth place.
