Phil Youngclaus opened the action to 9,000 and Adam Bacon reraised on the button to 21,000.
David Kim was in the small blind and shoved all in for 62,500. The action folded back to Youngclaus, who folded.
Bacon took his time to decide his next move. He had 78,000 behind, so a misstep on this hand could be pretty much the end of his tournament. He decided to fold and Kim won the pot.
