With the board showing {3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} by the turn, Sonny Kim heard his opponent announce himself all in, and with just 378,000 left in front of him, Kim knew the bet put him at risk of elimination should he call.

"I guess you got me, but I have to call," said Kim, moving his chips forward as he tabled {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for an overpair to the board.

Kim was elated to see that his read on the hand was wrong when his opponent revealed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, but he was still fading a ton of outs, as he would lose if any five, six or diamond was delivered on fifth street.

River: {4-Clubs}

"Yes!" cried Kim when the river brought a safe card on board, and with that he surged to just about double the average chip stack with just 17 players left.
