Dyer Eliminates Kim

John Kim lost most of his stack in a hand against Efren Garcia. We aren't sure when the money went in, but the board read {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Kim's {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} had been rivered by Garcia's {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Kim was left with 6,000 in chips and on the next hand, Gregory Dyer raised to 7,500 from the cutoff and Anthony Spinella re-raised to 22,000 from the small blind. Kim, who was in the big blind, tossed his last few chips into the pot and Dyer called the 22,000 to start a sidepot.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Spinella bet 15,000 and Dyer called. Both players checked when the {7-Spades} hit on the turn and the {k-Hearts} came on the river. Spinella said "ace high" but mucked his hand when Dyer showed the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a pair of queens. Kim mucked his hand as well and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Spinella must have recently won a large pot because even after losing some chips in this hand he still has a massive stack in front of him.
