Tirca Shoves on Kim as the Other Table Gets Restless
Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
De Han Kim raised to 55,000 in middle position and Tiberiu Tirca called on the button.
Kim checked the A♥A♣5♦ flop and Tirca bet 40,000. Kim called and both players checked the A♦ turn.
Kim then led out for 200,000 on the 3♠ river and Tirca moved all in for 720,000. While this hand was taking place, the other table was waiting for a player to fill the seat of the departed Rubin Okotie. As the minutes continued to burn off the clock as Kim tanked, they pleaded with a tournament official to pause the clock but to no avail.
Kim eventually folded. "Quads. Show one time, it's a small tournament," Martin Kabrhel said, but Tircu returned his cards face down.
