Gab Yong Kim Eliminated in 6th Place (�17,150)

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Gab Yong Kim
Gab Yong Kim

Niklas Astedt raised to 100,000 on the button and was called by Sam Grafton. Gab Yong Kim had paid one third of his tiny stack through the big blind ante already and joked "I just call", leaving himself with exactly one T-5,000 chip behind. Grafton and Kim checked the {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop and Astedt bet 100,000, picking up a call from Grafton.

Kim smiled and was about to grab his time bank extensions but then called it off. On the {5-Diamonds} turn, Grafton check-called for 325,000 and did so again for 450,000 on the {8-Clubs} river, rolling over the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a straight. Kim exposed his {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Astedt nodded. "You win," he said and sent the cards into the muck.

Kim collected �17,150 in cash along with the bounties he had previously earned.

Alexandros Theologis

Gab Yong Kim made it 100,000 to go and Alexandros Theologis pushed all-in for the last 160,000 he had behind. Niklas Astedt seemed interested but opted to fold while Kim obviously called without any hesitation whatsoever.

Both players revealed one card after the other with a grin on the face.

Alexandros Theologis: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Gab Yong Kim: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Kim whiffed the {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and the {3-Diamonds} turn. "King?!" he inquired and sure enough, the {k-Spades} fell on the river to knock out Theologis in 6th place for �13,660.
