Double Knockout for Kim Triggers Bubble Period
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Namhyung Kim had raised and Christopher Back called the 20,000. Van Marcus then pushed all-in with a shorter stack and the initial raiser reshoved with the far biggest stack. Back smiled and pushed forward his stack of more than 210,000 as well.
Van Marcus: A♠A♣Q♦9♥
Christopher Back: A♦K♠Q♠J♠
Namhyung Kim: 9♣6♠5♦4♠
"I like your hand but I gonna win this one with aces," Marcus joked towards Back, who then took the lead on the Q♥J♦5♠ flop.
However, it was Kim who hit the 5♥ turn to improve to trips fives. Nothing changed with the 2♣ river and Kim knocked out two opponents. The field plummeted to 32 contenders and the hand-for-hand process will commence when all tables have finished their current hand.
