Nasty river stuns Yang Peng and awards SJ Kim


Yang Peng entered the day running second in command and held on to it for a good part of the opening two rounds. In this level however, his stack downsized with some of it going to short stacked Soo Jo Kim.

On a turn board of 8 Q 9 A, Kim moved all in with 11.7k, Peng raised to 35k, and the third player in the hand got out of the way.

Kim A 8 two pair
Peng J 10 straight

When the river spiked an A, Kim overtook with a full house while Peng was stunned in disbelief.  The APT Main Event champion Kim doubled up to around 50k.
