Wook Kim Eliminated in 16th Place ($17,826)

Livello 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Wook Kim, the short stack at the table, was all-in and at risk preflop against Caleb Furth.

Wook Kim: A♠10♠
Caleb Furth: 8♦9♣

At first glance it appeared that Kim was locked for the double when he flopped the nut flush on the 8♠4♠9♠. However, Furth had flopped two pair and he improved to a boat when the 8♥ fell on the turn. Kim was left to bemoan his luck as the insignificant river card came.

The remaining players are now guaranteed at least $21,492.

Ferenc Deak opened the button to 140,000 and Alex Feiner moved all in for 480,000 from the small blind. The big blind quickly folded and Deak made the call to put Feiner at risk.

Alex Feiner: A♥K♦Q♥Q♣
Ferenc Deak: A♣J♥10♥9♦

Feiner was in the lead preflop, but when the board ran out K♥Q♠9♥2♣8♠, it was the flopped straight for Deak that held up to score the pot and send Feiner to the exit in 15th place.

Some of the Best Poker Players Who Haven't Won a WSOP Bracelet

Livello 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

While winning a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is one of the greatest accomplishments a poker player can achieve, many of the greatest and most successful players in the game have yet to put one on their wrists.

Daniel Rezaei called off his remaining chips preflop and was up against Michael Moncek, who covered.
