Kim Busts Karayvan In Spectacular Fashion

De Han Kim and Vitaly Karayvan both cashed in the €2,200 High Roller yesterday and just clashed in a big pot. With some 17,700 in the middle and the turn showing , Kim bet 8,000 from the small blind and Karayvan moved all in from the big blind. Both players had near identical stacks and Kim verified with the dealer that a re-entry is possible in the final starting day tomorrow.

He then held a hand in front of his eyes while pondering about his decision and grabbing his remaining chips. Without looking at the board, he slid them forward, not wanting to see the showdown, while the cards were tabled.

De Han Kim:

The magical on the river gave Kim a full house and the stacks were counted, Kim had 27,350 and Karayvan was covered by a mere 50 chips to join the rail. "So that's how you get far in High Roller tournaments?" Andre Haneberg joked, sitting on the other side of the table. It was Haneberg that defeated Kim in heads up in the early morning hours and they may be back at it in the Main Event as well.
