Kim Spikes the River on Mao
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 3♦8♣9♠, Renji Mao moved all in for 99,000 in early position and Omar Eljach folded the button. Gab Yong Kim, though, called in the big blind.
Renji Mao: A♥A♠6♣4♦
Gab Yong Kim: K♦Q♥J♥8♦
Mao was ahead with his pair of aces, while Kim had a pair of eights. The 2♠ turn was no help to Kim, but the K♥ arrived on the river and Mao let out a loud groan as Kim made two pair to bust the bracelet winner.
