Soo Jo Kim opened to 48,000 from under the gun and was called by Jean Marie Peyron on the button and Andre Cyril in the blinds.

The flop came down {3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and all three players check. When the {4-Clubs} fell on the turn, Cyril bet out 77,000 forcing a fold from Kim. Peyron then bumped it up to 160,000 and was called.

The {j-Clubs} completed the board and both players checked. Peyron tabled his {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a turned set, but was not good enough against Cyril who had {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a winning flush.

Haggart Falls Short

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

2014 APPT Seoul runner-up Christian Haggart has been unable to go one better in this event after recently being eliminated from the tournament.

With the decision back on Chang, he thought for just a moment before making the call.

Chang: {K-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Haggart: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts} giving Haggart nothing as he was sent to the rail in 12th place.

On The Final Table Bubble

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Soo Jo Kim has become the tournament latest casualty, meaning we're one elimination away from the final table.

Kim's final hand started when Andre Cyril bet out 60,000 from the cut off. The decision fell to Kim in the small blind and he instantly moved all in for just short of 300,000 in chips. The big blind got out of the way, and Cyril called.

Kim: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Cyril: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Kim was behind from the start, and couldn't improve as the board ran out {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} to see him fall in 11th place.
