Hiroi's Two-Punch Combo KO's Kim

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Action was folded around to Yukako Hiroi, who made a 6,500 raise from the button and was met by Yongkyun Kim on the big blind. Both players were unwrapped a flop of A♠ 2♠ 8♣ . Kim checked and Hiroi pushed a bet of 40,000, covering Kim's stack. After a brief pause to check his cards, Kim made the fold.

Right after, action again folded to Yukako Hiroi at the cut-off where he raised for the same 6,500. Kim moved all-in for his last 23,300 and the big-stacked Hiroi didn't have a problem calling. Kim was ahead with T♠ T♣ but the flop of 5♥ 4♠ A♠ paired Hiroi's A♥ 9♥ to take the lead. Kim just one of two-outer, but the poker gods misinterpreted the request and sent a K♥ K♦ to complete the board and send Kim out of his seat.
