Action folded to Rafael Rodrigo in the small blind and he raised all in for 565,000. Andrew Kim snap-called from the big blind and tabled a dominating {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. Rodrigo had shoved with the {K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

The flop, turn and river came {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Rodrigo was eliminated. Per the deal made when the players got down to four-handed action, Rodrigo earned KRW 94,500,000.

Kim and Vincent Rubianes are now heads up for the title and the extra KRW 35,000,000. Kim asked Rubianes if he wanted to chop the remaining money, but Rubianes said he'd rather just play for it.

Rubianes Wins Small Set

A recent hand saw Andrew Kim open the button to 120,000. Vincent Rubianes made the call and the {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was dealt.

Rubianes check-called a bet of 200,000 from Kim and the {k-Hearts} was brought about on the turn. This card saw both players check and the {7-Diamonds} complete the board on the river. Rubianes again checked and Kim would also check.

Rubianes then tabled his {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} for a flopped set of aces. Kim slid his cards into the muck and the pot went to Rubianes.

Slow Two

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The heads-up battle has been quite uneventful so far. There hasn't been much three-betting preflop and there hasn't really been that many flops seen and when cards are dealt on the felt, it is usually over pretty quickly with one bet. Let's see if some fireworks start soon.

Kim Increases with Trips

From the button, Vincent Rubianes raised to 80,000. Andrew Kim called from the button and the flop came down {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Kim check-called a bet of 80,000 from Rubianes.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {2-Hearts} land on the river. On the end, Kim fired 120,000 and Rubianes called.

Kim tabled the {9-Spades}{6-Spades} for trip sixes and Rubianes mucked his hand with a nod.
