In a battle of the blinds, Dong-bin Han opened preflop to 69,000, then called after Nick Pronk re-raised to 204,000. That took the two men to a highly coordinated flop of {6-Spades}

. Han checked to Pronk, who quickly fired out 270,000. Han tanked for two minutes before re-raising all in. Pronk smirked, then rested his chin on his knuckles as he pondered his decision. He was in the tank for more than a minute before he finally called.

Han: {A-Clubs}

Pronk:

Han showed some creativity and not much else with his ace-high. Pronk showed creativity as well, with bottom pair and a gutshot straight draw. Improbably, he was in the lead. Han stood over the table to watch the turn fall {4-Clubs}
