Kwon Takes Stranglehold with Flush

Blinds: 80,000/160,000

It has been a dream final table for Yong ��IReadYrSoul�� Kwon, who has yet to take a wrong step so far. In the latest hand, Kwon was heads up with fellow big stack "pure_reason" on a flop of {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}. Kwon checked to "pure_reason", who bet out 400,000 and change. Kwon check raised to 1,100,000, "pure_reason" called, and the {j-Diamonds} hit the turn. Kwon led for 1.3 mllion this time, "pure_reason" called again, and the {5-Hearts} hit the river.

Kwon went for a massive, near pot sized bet of 5.5 million, and "pure_reason" beat him into the pot. However, he was forced to muck after Kwon showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for a flopped flush.

With that pot, Kwon practically has one hand on the proverbial trophy.
