Joseph Kim Understandably Mad

Level 12: 1,500 / 2,500 ante: 2,500
Joseph Wung Hyun Kim

Catching the action on the 5 K 9 flop and 37,500 up for grabs, big blind Joseph Kim bets 35,000 and Jing He declares all-in from the small blind. Kim complains that he thought she had way less chips, because her 25K chip is below a stack of 500s, but no enforcement is issued and Kim folds, losing three time banks in the process.
