Hand #53 - Kelly Kim Eliminated in 8th Place ($1,288,217)

[user25067]

Chino Rheem has the button in Seat 6. All but 150,000 of Kelly Kim's chips are committed in the big blind.

Ylon Schwartz limps in, Darus Suharto limps, Ivan Demidov limps, and Kelly Kim moves all in from the big blind. Schwartz, Suharto, and Demidov all call an additional 150,000 each. Action will continue on the side between Schwartz, Suharto and Demidov.

The flop is {9-Hearts}

. Demidov bets 600,000, Schwartz folds and Suharto calls. The {A-Hearts}

falls on the turn and both Demidov and Suharto check. The river is the {Q-Diamonds}

and they check it down again.

The hands are turned over for the side pot.

Suharto {9-Clubs}

Demidov

Suharto's pair of nines with a ten kicker just edges out Demidov for the side pot.

Kim, though, mucks his hand, unable to beat either of his opponents. Suharto takes the main pot and Kim leaves the stage in eighth place to a roar of approval from his supporters. He'll take home $1,288,217 for his Main Event finish.
