Championship Warm Up ($600)

Andres Korn of Argentina opens from the utg+2 position to 5,000 and gets the defense from the bb of Korea’s Kim Junggu.

The flop comes K♠ Q♥ 8♣ as Kim checks. Korn CBets 7,000 and is greeted with a check-raise all-in from the Korean for 36,000. Korn quickly calls.

Kim shows K♥ 2♥ for top pair while the Argentinian flips over K♣ Q♦ for top two pairs. The turn has Kim drawing dead as the Q♣ shows while the river card is the 3♥ .

Korn’s stack has been fluctuating but this elimination could get him back into consistency.
