Countdown for Kim
We caught the end of a hand that proved to be quite an exciting one that saw Korea��s Soo Joo Kim put under pressure in a big pot.
There was already between close to 30,000 in the pot and the community cards were spread 
and Kim, sitting with 26,500 behind, was facing an all-in shove of 13,000 from big blind Jackie Wong.
Kim was in the tank when we arrived and tablemate Zhao Yanchao had just called for the clock. The tournament director arrived and informed Kim he had 30-seconds to act, but forgot to inform him when he had five seconds left and told Kim rather abruptly that his hand was now dead.
��What?�� asked a disbelieving Kim. ��Aren��t you supposed to tell me when I have five seconds left?��
After a little confusion Kim was given his five seconds and eventually flashed Wong 
before throwing his hand away and leaving the Hong Kong player free to scoop in the pot and climb to 47,500.
