Nguyen Chips Up, Knocks Out Kim
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action started with a raise from the player in late position, which Tommy Nguyen three-bet from the hijack. Yoon Kim was in the cutoff and went all in. Late position folded and Nguyen called.
Yoon Kim: A♦Q♣
Tommy Nguyen: Q♠Q♦
Kim commented he needed to get lucky and got some options on the J♥10♦9♣ board. Both players flopped an open-ender and Kim said he will happily take a chop.
The turn 2♥ and river 9♠ did not bring the desired straight for Kim, however, and he was eliminated.
