With the board showing Diamond QDiamond JHeart JSpade 7 on the turn, Baseem Nsier, checks from the big blind, Dongwoo Ko bets 890,000 from the cutoff, and Nsier goes into the tank.

There is a bit of confusion as Nsier moves out four Time Chips to assess how much time he could use, and the dealer thought he was cashing them in for an extra two minutes.

Nsier tanks for a while, only using three of his Time Chips before he check-raises all in for roughly 1,750,000.

Ko snap-calls with Heart QClub Q for a flopped full house, queens full of jacks. Nsier turns over Spade JSpade 10 for trip jacks, and he needs to catch the fourth jack on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the Club 3, and Ko wins the pot with his full house to eliminate Nsier in 32nd place.

Dongwoo Ko  –  7,600,000  (253 bb)
Baseem Nsier  –  Eliminated in 32nd Place  (CAD $17,300)
