Janar Kiivramees Doubles Up

Janar Kiivramees has been riding the shortest of short stacks at Table 4 for about two hours. He just doubled up courtesy of Kelly Kim. Kim opened preflop from the button for 34,000. Rony Jazzar called in the small blind. Kiivramees thought for about a minute before also calling, creating a three-way flop.

The flop came {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {A-Hearts}. Jazzar and Kiivramees both checked to Kim, who bet 40,000. That was enough to fold Jazzar. Kiivramees, on the other hand, his chest ising and falling visibly, took a deep breath and then shoved in for 90,000. Kim called the extra 50,000 knowing he was behind.

Kim: {j-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Kiivramees: {7-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

The {9-Hearts} on the turn made things interesting, giving Kim a bunch of outs heading into the river. But the {2-Hearts} was not one of those outs. As a result Kiivramees hangs around the tournament with 282,000 chips.
