HomeThe fearless Jinwoo Kim sent out the first of two players needed to end the day and establish the Final 8. The victim was Naoki Morita. Just before the hand began, Kim was fixing his stack after having just won a pot. The next hand began with Morita beefing up the pot to 45k; Jinwoo Kim answered with a 150k re-raise, then back to Morita who shoved his stack nearing 500k. A quick call came from the Kim and it was a showdown.
