Min Ho Cho

Jun Beum Chun opened to 250,000 from the hijack and Min Ho Cho defended his big blind.

Cho check-called a 175,000 bet from Chun on the 2 J 9 flop and then both players checked on the 3 turn.

Cho checked a final time on the 8 river and Chun announced he was all-in, which was enough to put Cho all in for his last 750,000.

Cho sat back in his seat and pondered a bit but eventually stuck in a call and showed A 9 for a pair of nines.

It was good enough against Chun's 7 7 and he was awarded the double-up.
