Kim fired a minimum raise from the button, and both Adrien Berger and Ko Zaw Ko defended their blinds.
The flop came K♥ 6♦ 2♦. Kim continued for 6,000, and Berger called, while Ko raised to 26,000.
Back to Kim, who announced all in. Berger called all in for 139,100, and Ko also joined with his remaining 59,200, setting up a three-way all in.
Ko Zaw Ko: K♠ 5♠
Adrien Berger: K♦ 4♦
Juwon Kim: 6♣ 2♣
All three players connected with the flop, but Kim remained ahead on the 7♥ turn. The 6♥ river improved Kim to a full house, giving him the massive pot and knocking out both Ko and Berger.
It was a huge swing in Kim’s favor and a pot that put him firmly in control of the tournament.
