Kim Lays Down Aces

We passed by Kelly Kim's table and saw him tanking for his tournament life. With 125,000 chips up for grabs, and playing about 105,000 chips behind in his stack, Kim was facing a bet of 78,000. Kim and his opponent were at the river, {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}.

"Ahhh," said an exasperated Kim. "I should have got it in on the flop." He tanked for another minute before folding {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} face-up.

"So sick," he complained.
