After a couple of raised pots won without a call, this hand saw the battle of the blinds. Limping in from the small blind was John Sayo and Andrew Gaw from the big blind checked. At the flop of 9♣ 5♦ 4♥, both players checked. At the turn of 3♣ and river of K♥, they checked again and Sayo won the hand with his 6♥ 4♠.
Kyungrok Kim just sat down at the final table and now he has just walked out after being eliminated by Ben Martin. The hand began with Kyungrok Kim raising to 21k, re-raised to 51k by Martin, four-bet to 136k by Kim, then an all in by Martin. Kim was not happy with that push but still made the call for his tournament life. Martin had A♦ A♠ and Kim had A♣ K♦. The board ran 10♥ 4♥ J♠ 9♣ 7♠ and with that, Kim was out in 8th place.
