Valeriy Pak raises to 350,000, Tsugunari Toma moves all in for 2,535,000, and Pak quickly calls with Club AClub 5. Toma turns over Heart KClub Q, and needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes Diamond 10Club 10Heart 5Club JSpade 5 — Toma turns an open-ended straight draw to Pak’s turned flush draw, but the river card is a blank.

Pak wins the pot — and the WPT Korea main event — with two pair on the board, tens and fives, and his ace kicker. Tsugunari Toma finishes as the runner-up, earning KRW 44,700,000.

Congratulations to Valeriy Pak for winning the WPT Korea main event!
