Kim Spikes the River on Mao
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 3?8?9?, Renji Mao moved all in for 99,000 in early position and Omar Eljach folded the button. Gab Yong Kim, though, called in the big blind.
Renji Mao: A?A?6?4?
Gab Yong Kim: K?Q?J?8?
Mao was ahead with his pair of aces, while Kim had a pair of eights. The 2? turn was no help to Kim, but the K? arrived on the river and Mao let out a loud groan as Kim made two pair to bust the bracelet winner.
