Hyon Kim Eliminated

Philip Hilm raised to 120,000 from the button. Hyon Kim, playing from the small blind, raised to 1,100,000 (Hyon was not all in, as he had left a 5,000 chip on his cards to protect them.) Hilm made the call and they took a flop heads up...

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

Kim, in a mere formality, tossed his last 5,000 chip into the pot. Needless to say, Hilm called. Kim showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

which trailed the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

of Hilm. The turn came the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

and the river the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. Kim failed to catch one of his overcards and was eliminated in 57th place, earning himself $154,194 in the process.
