Kelly Kim Eliminated in 29th Place ($6,441)

Justin Bonomo just added a whole bunch of chips to his stack with the recent elimination of Kelly Kim. Bonomo opened the pot with an 8,000 pre-flop raise from early position and was called by big stack Clint Roberts. Action then folded around to Kim on the button who moved all in for a total of 45,000. Both blinds folded and when the action returned to Bonomo, he too shoved all in - his total bet worth 100,000. Bonomo's isolation play worked as Roberts got out of the way, leaving Justin and Kim heads-up - their fates now dependent upon a coinflip:

Bonomo: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Kim: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The board ultimately ran out {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades} giving Bonomo top two pair and the 185,000 pot, sending Kim to the rail in 29th place - a finish worth $6,441in prize money.
