On his last hand, Vos picked up . He opened for 700, then reraised all in to 8,450 after Hedlund made it 3,000 to go. Hedlund called with and hit his ace on the turn to knock out Vos and climb to 60,000. -

Wooka Kim busting in the battle of the blindsWooka Walks
With the action slowly folding round to Wooka Kim in the small blind, she opened with a raise to 700.
Steve Paul-Ambrose made the call from the big blind, and when Kim checked the
flop, he fired out 900.
Kim then made it 3,000 to go before Paul-Ambrose instantly made it 10,000 to put Kim all in. Kim obliged by sliding her last ten yellow 1,000-denomination chips into the pot and the cards were tabled.
Kim:
Paul-Ambrose:
With Paul-Ambrose in bad shape to only a king, or running straight or flush cards, he would hit gin on the turn when it landed the.
Now needing to catch her two-outer to stay alive, Kim would unfortunately only see the land on the river, and a hasty exit follow. -
