The Bubble Has Burst

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sid Kim raised from under the gun to 10,000. He wanted to raise more but there was some confusion on his motion and the amount of chips in his hand. According to the dealer, he said raise with 9,000 chips in his hand and then pulled 4,000 back to get additional chips for a larger raise. The ruling came down that since he said raise with 9,000 in his hand that he could only raise to the minimum of 10,000.

After the decision, that action folded around to Yen Cheng Huang in the big blind, who seemed hesitant to make the call but eventually did.

The flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} was dealt and Huang checked over to Kim who announced "all in" and Huang made the call. When the hands were tabled Huang was ahead with {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Kim held {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

The {3-Hearts} turn and {7-Hearts} river didn't change Kim's fate and he exited the tournament in 29th place. The remaining players are now guaranteed KRW4,800,000.
