Kim Busts Zhang and Becomes Chip Leader Contender

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The action started with a raise by Dong Il Kim from under the gun for 2,300 just before the end of the penultimate level. Weiyi Zhang three-bet to 6,000 out of middle position and Kim asked the Chinese if he had any yellow 5,000 chips left. That was denied and then the Korean opted for the call.

On the {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, Kim check-raised all in and Zhang called quickly after having made a continuation bet of 6,000 with a stack of around 25,000. Zhang flipped over the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} while Kim held top pair and the flush draw in {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The {8-Hearts} turn brought exactly said flush, but the win wasn't guaranteed yet as the Chinese had the higher heart in his hand.

The dealer burned and turned the {8-Clubs} river and Zhang quickly left the table. Kim was congratulated to "feel the rush" and complained that he had been rather card dead before and his best hand had been ace-queen.
