Paul Hong Collects the Max vs. Sun Guodong
Jul 23, 2023
Arden Cho min-bumps from under the gun and Li Zhendong calls in the cutoff. Paul Hong (pictured) three-bets the small blind and Sun Guodong makes it 13,200 in the big blind.
The action folds to Hong who calls and the dealer fans out 
between the two. Hong check-calls a bet of 7,200 to see the 
turn and taps the table once more.
Guodong piles in 39,200 and is instantly met with a check-shove by Hong, totaling 62,500. Guodong calls, turning over 
and needs to connect on the river when Hong shows 
.
The board completes with a 
river card and Hong pulls in a full double through Guodong shortly before players have their first break of the day.
Paul Hong – 172,800 (288 bb)
Sun Guodong – 26,000 (43 bb)
