Gab Yong Kim Catches On The River To Bust Lenart Ecarma

Flight A PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)

Blinds: 2,000/4,000 Ante 4,000 (Level 15)


Lenart Ecarma raised to 8,500 from UTG+1 and called the 21,000 re-raise of Gab Yong Kim at the cut-off. The flop came K Q 9 . Ecarma checked then called the 14,000 bet of Kim to see a 5 on the turn. Ecarma checked and Kim fired 100,000 to cover the chips of Ecarma. Ecarma risked whatever remained.


Ecarma was ahead with a pair of queens against the pocket eights of Kim when they flipped their cards. However, the river threw a 8 giving Kim a set and eliminating Ecarma from the tournament.
