Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Bruno Desimoni opened the action with a raise to 25,000 in the hijack and Gab Yong Kim pushed all-in on the button for 205,000. Nils Pudel tanked for more than two minutes in the small blind, glanced over at Desimoni's stack and the tournament info before placing a single chip for the call, Desimoni folded.
The other tables finished their hands and the cards were revealed.
Gab Yong Kim: A♠K♥
Nils Pudel: A♦Q♠
There were some groans from bystanders when the Q♣ appeared in the window followed by the 8♣2♦. Nothing changed with the 3♣ since neither player had a club in their hand. The 2♥ fell on the river and Kim was eliminated two spots away from the money, the field is now on the stone bubble.
