Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up on a A♦6♦8♠ flop with 680,000 in the middle.

Ahram Kim fired out 550,000 from the cutoff and Bamshad Azizi called in the small blind.

The turn 7♥ hit the felt and Kim moved all in for 1,200,000. Azizi went into the tank but eventually flicked in a chip for a call.

Ahram Kim: J♦7♦ All in
Bamshad Azizi: A♣9♦

The river Q♥ did not improve Kim, his pair of sevens was bested by a pair of aces, and he was eliminated while Azizi dragged in a momentum-shifting pot.
