Kats Eliminates Kim

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Stephen Kats
Stephen Kats

James Fox rasied to 8,000 under the gun only to have Stephen Kats move all in from middle position for 74,500. Action folded around to Chris Kim in the big blind and he was faced with a tough decision as he looked down at a pocket pair. He had close to the same amount as Kats, but a call would mean his tournament life. A call is what he settled on and the cards were turned up after Fox slyly got out of the way:

Kim: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Kats: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Kats was out in front with his kings and stayed there as the board ran out {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. With that, Kim was eliminated from the WSOPC Harrah's Tunica Main Event while Kats is up to around 160,000.

It is worth noting that Fox said he folded {A-}{J-}, which would have given him a full house and a monster pot had he called.
