Championship Warm Up ($600)

Korea’s Kim Taeil open shoves for 53,000 from utg+1 and gets called just to his left in the +2 by Zhong Jiazhi of China.

Kim shows A♥ 9♥ while it turns out to be a coinflip against Zhong’s 8♠ 8♥ .

The runout goes: T♥ 7♦ 4♠ Q♥ (a glimmer of hope because of the possible backdoor flush) 3♦ .

The final stretch nears.
