Ko Chases Away Kinno From a Massive Pot, No Second Run For Tocci
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Michele Tocci moved all in for 70,000 on the button and Nadir Kinno raised to 136,000 in the small blind. David Dongwoo Ko then reraised to 455,000 in the big blind and Kinno folded, claiming he had two tens.
Michele Tocci: A♠J♦ 
David Dongwoo Ko: 6♣6♠
Tocci hit top pair on the A♥10♣6♥ flop, but Ko spiked a set as Kinno flung his arms in the air after seeing he would've also hit a better set. The K♥ turn gave Tocci a straight draw, but Ko filled up on the K♠ river to send last year's third-place finisher to the rail a few spots off the money.
"Why do you not just flat?" Kinno said to Ko as they joined the field on break.
