Kim Scores Another Bustout
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The action was caught with approximately 17,500 in the middle with three players looking at a flop of J?8?3?.
Both the hijack and Kenneth Kim, in the cutoff, checked the action to the button, who bet out 7,000. The hijack called and Kim check-raised making it 35,000 to go. The button folded and the hijack called off the bet for his effective stack and tournament life.
Hijack: 10?9? 
Kenneth Kim: K?J?
Kim was ahead with top pair while the hijack was open-ended. The 2? turn and 9? river failed to improve the hijack's draw and he was sent to the rail.
