John Kim Eliminated by Gavin O'Rourke

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

John Kim moved all in for his last 180,000 chips from late middle position and Gavin O'Rourke called from the small blind to put Kim at risk. O'Rourke showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Kim tabled {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, so Kim had to win the race in order to double up.

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{J-}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-}, pairing Kim's ace but giving O'Rourke a boat to win the pot and eliminate Kim.
