Kim Rivers Action Card

[user67765]

In a battle of the blinds, Albert Kim and David Saab saw a cheap flop of {3-Hearts}

. Kim led out for 100,000 and Saab made the call.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}

and Kim checked to Saab, who fired 150,000. Kim made the call.

The river landed the {7-Diamonds}

and Kim checked once again, allowing Saab to fire out 350,000. Kim then check-raised to 1 million in total. Saab cringed and said "OK, show me the full house," before making the call. He was right, as Kim flipped {10-Hearts}

. Saab flashed {4-Spades}

for the rivered straight.

Kim jumps to 5.4 million with Saab slipping to under 1.8 million.

Chris Zapf Eliminated in 66th Place ($96,500)

[user37786]

The short-stacked Zapf was probably pleased to pick up {K-Spades}

and even happier to get all his money in up against Peter Eastgate's {3-Clubs}

. That is, right up to the point where the flop came {2-Diamonds}

to give Peter the nut straight. The board ran out {7-Hearts}

and Zapf's day came to a sudden, sudden end.
