After tanking for a good bit he indeed decided to call, and found that his was up against Turner's and top set. The turn quickly reversed the situation as the fell, giving Kim the flush. Turner needed to board to pair to give him the full house, but instead the fell on the river, and just that fast Turner was eliminated from the Main Event.
"What am I doing?" Kim wondered aloud after the hand. "I'm so stupid, I'm such a donk. That's the dumbest thing I've ever done."
