Normand and Kim Collide
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Jackson began the hand with a raise to 18,000 from the hijack. Gabyong Kim decided to raise to 55,000 from the button. Derek Normand took an inventory of his stack before he eventually chose to go all-in for 123,000 from the big blind.
Jackson folded, but Kim called to put Normand at risk.
Derek Normand: A♥K♥
Gabyong Kim: 9♦9♠
Kim held the slight edge before the runout, but the flop obliterated that lead as it came 6♦2♦A♣ to give Normand top pair.
The 3♠ turn and 10♦ river completed the board to give Normand a double.
Jackson was left with a short stack following the fold and was eliminated shortly after the hand.
