Pagano moved his hands to reveal his ~40,000 remainder.

It's been an awfully long day for the 2008 WSOP finalist, grinding his ten-big-blind stack for hours on end. Finally, the wait has paid off. Kim was lucky enough to pick up pocket aces when a covering stack shoved on him with king-queen.

A few small pots later, and he's up to 190,000 just like that.
