Championship Warm Up ($600)

With a pot of 38,000 in the middle across board 7♠ J♥ 4♣ 5♣ 6♣ , Tero Laurila led out 40,000 from the big blind, and was met with two all-ins behind - Tom Maguire (214,500) and Thi Kim (386,500). Laurila opted out, leaving the two to showdown.

Maguire revealed king high flush K♣ 7♣ , crushing Thi Kim's nut straight 9♥ 8♥ for a last minute double up.

Thi Kim opened 10,000 utg and was called by Keisuke Tajiri on the button, along with the small blind.

On flop 7♠ 8♥ 4♣ , Kim continued for 15,000, raised Tajiri to 45,000. Both opponents slipped the fold, shipping Tajiri the pot.

Marc Joseph opened 2,400 and was called behind by Thi Kim. On flop 4♦ 3♥ K♠ , Kim called a 2,500 continuation bet, and arrived at showdown shortly after no more bets went in on either turn 8♦ or river 4♥ .

Kim showed A♣ Q♣ , good enough to claim the pot.
