[user67765]

Kelly Kim - 22nd Place

Kelly Kim was short stacked and moved all in preflop from under the gun for his last 105,000. Dixon Ruecker looked him up with a call from the big blind.

Kim: {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

Ruecker:

{8-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

As the flop was spread there was an incredible roar from the rail as the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

was in window but, unfortunately for Kim, it was followed by {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

to give both players a set!

The turn was the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and river the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

and we lose one of our high profile player in Kelly Kim in 22nd place for AU$50,000 in prize money.

As Kim thanked his table, he shook hands with Christian Heich and said, "You're my pick to win!"

He then thanked the tournament staff for their hospitality and said, "You guys run a hell of a tournament. I'll be back for sure!"

See you next year, Kelly.
