HomeIt was a nutty nutty hand with a massive double up going to Alex Ward. The hand started with Michael Falcon raising to 22k from the utg seat and was called by both Alex Ward on the button and John Kim on the small blind. At the flop of 2♠ 2♥ 3♠, Kim checked to Falcon who continued for 32k and was called by both Ward and Kim. At the turn of 8♠, Kim checked to Falcon again who bet 42k. Ward called but Kim check-raised to make it 131k total. Falcon decided to fold up while Ward stuck with Kim and smooth-called. On the river of K♠, Kim quickly announced he was all in, and Ward snap called. Kim revealed his 3♦ 3♥ full house made at the flop but Ward had better with 8♦ 8♥ higher full house that he made at the turn. Ward climbed to 950k chips while Kim spiraled down to 220k chips. Ward is the new chip leader.
