Day 9 - October 26, 2024
Dohwan Kim Takes Gary Thompson Out
Dohwan KimFlight B PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)
Blinds: 500/1000 Ante 1000 (Level 8)
Action fell to Dohwan Kim on the button. Kim looked over to the blinds, saw an opportunity and raised to 12,000. Gary Thompson pushed back from the big blind for his last 16,600 chips. Kim didn't have to add much to make the call.
Both players missed the board completely, so the better hole cards of Kim won with king-high, sending Thompson out of the tournament to go for a pint of Guinness.
