We're guessing that Tae Jun Noh didn't plan to be all in forty-five minutes into the tournament when he arrived here earlier this afternoon. But that's exactly what happened. With 2,600 in the middle on a flop of 
, Noh was all in for 6,675 and called. It was a bad spot for Noh; his

, then dodged the remaining diamonds in the deck when the river fell 
.
The double-up restores Noh's stack to about 15,000.
