Kang Forces Out Yaghmai

South Korea's Hyunyeong Kang opened the action with a raise to 4,500 in the cutoff and he then called a three-bet to 17,000 by Nariman Yaghmai out of the small blind. On the J♣9♥3♥ flop, Yaghmai continued for 10,000 to pick up a call and then bet the 2♠ turn for another 40,000. Kang called once again and the J♥ river paired the board while also completing a flush draw as well.

Yaghmai slowed down and checked, allowing Kang to bet 160,000 with some 87,000 behind. That won the pot uncontested as Yaghmai opted to fold.
