Double Knockout for Kim Triggers Bubble Period
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Namhyung Kim had raised and Christopher Back called the 20,000. Van Marcus then pushed all-in with a shorter stack and the initial raiser reshoved with the far biggest stack. Back smiled and pushed forward his stack of more than 210,000 as well.
Van Marcus: A?A?Q?9?
Christopher Back: A?K?Q?J?
Namhyung Kim: 9?6?5?4?
"I like your hand but I gonna win this one with aces," Marcus joked towards Back, who then took the lead on the Q?J?5? flop.
However, it was Kim who hit the 5? turn to improve to trips fives. Nothing changed with the 2? river and Kim knocked out two opponents. The field plummeted to 32 contenders and the hand-for-hand process will commence when all tables have finished their current hand.
