Wang Zuyou And Yiheng Luo Bubble As Joseph Kim Is All-in At The Same Time

Level 17: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Wang Zuyou

Joseph Wung Hyun Kim

Hijack Joseph Kim raises to 26,000 and fills up after big blind Na Ye three-bet to 67,000 for the 2♠ 7♣ T♣ flop to drop. Ye continues for 50,000 and quickly calls after Joseph Kim declared all-in for 219,000.

While the dealer gets ready, we hear that Baofeng Zhang eliminated Zuyou Wang on the other table and the elimination of Yiheng Luo occured on the table next to that.

Na Ye has too many outs, missing on 3♥ and 9♥ , handing Kim a huge double up on the buzzer.

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.
