Kelly Kim Falls to 280k

Rony Jazzar's balancing act
Rony Jazzar's balancing act
We caught up to the following hand with the board showing {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and about 28,500 already in the pot. Kelly Kim opened with a 15,000 bet and Rony Jazzar kicked it up to 40,000.

Kim responded by three-betting to approximately 100,000 and Jazzar immediately moved all in, sending Kim into the tank.

While Kim considered his decision, somehow a full bottle of water ending up sitting on top of Jazzar's head.

"A cooling system," Jazzar joked. "If it falls, he will win."

Jazzar was right. The bottle never fell after it spent about a minute on top of his head, and Kim eventually let go of his hand, leaving himself with right around 288,000 in chips. Jazzar climbed up to 460,000 with the win.
