Kim eliminated by Berlin's aces

Barely half an hour after the resumption of play after the dinner break, Lithuania's David Berlin sees it folded to him on the HJ and makes a raise to 3,500. This draws in two callers in Don Carmona of the Philippines (CO) and Korean Kim Tae Oh (BB).
The flop comes 7♣ 2♣ 6♦ as Kim checks. Berlin CBets for 7,500 and Carmona folds. Kim calls.
Heads up to the turn of J♥ that draws another check from the Korean. Berlin now bets 20,000 to put Kim all-in and he does call.
Berlin shows A♣ A♥ while Kim tables 8♣ 8♠ .
Down to a two-outer, Kim is shown the door when the K♣ comes on the river.
