James Kim Eliminated in 23rd Place ($4,600)

Assembled media quickly came scurrying from the feature table area to Table 3, where James Kim was all in at risk of elimination against Alex Tikholiz. Kim's middle pair, {K-Spades} {5-Spades}, was drawing against Tikholiz's small overpair, {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, on a board of {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. Kim never improved, {A-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river.

"Domoi!" shouted Tikholiz, pounding the table with each syllable. That's Russian for "Go home!" Kim, we imagine, doesn't speak Russian and therefore had no reply for Tikholiz. Either way, he's busto.
