A player in middle positon raises to 3,500 and Hee Joong "H.J." Im (pictured) calls from the small blind. The big blind calls and they go three handed to the 10♦️7♦️6♣️ flop.

The action checks around ad the turn brings the 7♥️. Im leads out with a bet of 4,300 and the big blind calls. The river is the 3♣️ and Im checks to the big blind who bets 13,000.

After giving it some thought Im makes the call and his opponent shows K♣️9♦️ for just king high. Im rolls over 2♦️2♣️ for just pocket deuces but it's enough to earn him the pot.

Hee Joong Im- 90,000

Melanie Duval is beginning to distance herself from the Day 1D field. She eliminated Matthew Wantman just before the break thanks to a jack on the flop holding pocket jacks against his pocket aces.

Since then she continues to climb and is now the first player in the field over 200,000. Although she is sitting behind a mountain of chips it's going to be a tall task for anyone to catch Michael Dobbs who bagged 873,000 on Day 1B.
