Lim On the Edge of Elimination

Level 28: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000
Dawid Smolka

Akira Takasugi raied to 160,000 from the cutoff and Dawid Smolka shoved all in from the small blind for 1,408,000. Donghyun Lim also moved all in from the big blind for around 4,000,000. Takasugi called for his remaining chips.


Dawid Smolka: A 9


Donghyun Lim: Q Q


Akira Takasugi: K K


Takasugi looked poised to scoop in a humongous pot with pocket kings on the flop of 5 7 4 .


However, the dealer sent an A on the turn, improving Smolka to superior pair of aces.


The river bricked out a 6 , locking up a monstrous pot for Skolka and leaving Lim crippled with less than one million chips.
