Gab Yong Kim then raised to 325,000 with the {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}, earning a call from chip leader Grzegorz Glowny in the big blind with {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Both held a piece on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Spades} flop and Glowny check-called for 200,000 with Glowny then finding a wheel draw on the {3-Hearts} turn.
