Classic Race Goes to Kim

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A string of preflop bets between Andrew Kim and Dylan Wilkerson had all the chips go in the middle.

Dylan Wilkerson:
Andrew Kim:

The most classic of races was underway as the dealer fanned out an board. Neither player had a heart but Kim did spike an ace to claim the pot. After the stacks were cut down, it was determined Wilkerson had slightly less and was sent to the rail.
