Kim One-Outs PHam
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jun Kim just got it all in against Christian Pham with 
on a flop of 
. Unfortunately for Kim, Pham held for a higher set, and he had just one out. He spiked that out on the turn, making quads, and Pham could only exclaim about how awful he has run today. He's still sitting, shell-shocked, in a seat at a neighboring table, as if he can't believe he's really done on a one-outer.

Jivkov Fades Outs
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
A player opened for 1,800 in the hijack, and Nick Jivkov made it 4,200 from the button. The raiser called, and two took in a 
flop. Jivkov bet 5,800 when checked to, and his opponent pushed all in. Jivkov wasted no time calling.
Jivkov: 
Hijack:
Jivkov's overpair was good for the moment, but his opponent had considerable outage with an open-ender, a backdoor flush draw, and a pair. The turn was a brick, and the board pairing with 
on the river did the hijack no good either.
Jivkov, who has nearly $600,000 in career cashes, including World Series of Poker win in Pot-Limit Hold'em in 2012, will be a player to watch going forward if he can maintain his stack.
Players are on another 10-minute break.
