Kim busts, Aguila has his stack go down to less than 50,000 while Rourke nears the century mark.

In a brewing hand that has a pot of 7,000 and a board of 2♦ T♦ T♥ 3♠ Japan’s Keigo Hoshi checks as Kim Sangbum of Korea bets 3,400. Hoshi then check-raises all-in as the Korean calls for his last 9,400.

Hoshi shows T♠ 6♦ while Kim has him dominated with Q♦ T♣ .

The river is the A♦ as Kim doubles through off the Japanese player.
