Chino Rheem has the button in Seat 6. Ivan Demidov sets Kelly Kim all in from the small blind and Kim makes a snap-call from the big blind, having more than half his stack invested in the big blind and ante.

Kim {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

Demidov {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

Kim leaps out of his seat and pumps his fist, a huge smile on his face as he sees what great shape he's in. His supporters let out a roar of approval as they saw his pocket kings for the first time and began chanting "Let's go Kelly!" in earnest, their man's tournament life on the line.

The flop is {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs}, making Kim two pair and leaving Demidov drawing only to running cards. The turn is the {9-Spades}, promping an "oooooh" from the crowd as Demidov picks up a gutshot straight draw. The river, though is the {3-Spades} and Kelly Kim doubles up as the crowd goes absolutely bonkers.

After the hand, Kim was up to 1,720,000 while Demidov fell to 26,500,000.
