Jae Kim Eliminated in 8th Place (€8,750)
Level 28
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jae Kim opened to 350,000 from the hijack, and called a three-bet to 800,000 from Krisjanis Stankevics in the big blind.
On the J♣6♣5♥ flop, Stankevics moved all in for 1,900,000, putting Kim to the test for the rest of his 1,200,000 stack.
Kim looked pained, but ended up making the call after around a minute of thought.
Jae Kim: 10♠10♦
Krisjanis Stankevics: Q♥Q♠
Kim was crushed with second pair tens versus Stankevics overpair queens, and there was no two-outer on the 3♥ turn or 6♦ river, marking the end of the road or the runaway start of day chip leader.
