Minjung Kim Soars to the Top

Only 35 players remain and South Korea’s Minjung Kim is the new chip leader. He raises it up initially and finds resistance by Syed Umair Zar out of the blinds.

They head to the turn on which Zar check-raises a bet of 36,000 to 100,000 with some 70,000 behind. Kim jams all-in with the far bigger stack and Zar calls.

Syed Umair Zar:
Minjung Kim:

The on the river is a brick and that spells the end for Zar.

“Very tight player,” Kunal Patni jokes towards Kim as he rakes in the pot.

Minjung Kim – 770,000
Syed Zar – Eliminated
