Kim Gets the KO

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

We caught up with the action just as John Kim was dragging the pot. It appeared that Kim and an opponent had gotten it all in preflop. Kim had the {A-}{K-} vs. his opponent's {K-}{K-} and and ace hit the board, chipping Kim up to 40,000 and sending his opponent to the rail.
