Sonny Kim (Staten Island, NY)
George Alberto continued his aggressive streak after play resumed and Sonny Kim fell victim as a result. In one of the first hands after play restarted, Kim was crippled by Alberto and was soon all-in.
Following a raise from Kim out of the small blind for 155,000, Alberto shoved for 2,105,000. Kim thought for a few moments and called with {ad}{8h} and did not like what he saw when Alberto rolled over {10c}{10h}.
The {9s}{6c}{4h} wasn’t what Kim was looking for and neither was the {4s}. The {jh} sealed the double for Alberto, leaving Kim with less than 1,000,000.
A few hands later, Kim was all-in for his last 900,000 with {kc}{7c} against the {6s}{6d} of Alberto. The {qc}{jd}{9d} gave Kim outs to a straight and the {ac} on the turn gave him a flush draw. Despite all of his outs Kim missed the {2h} river and hit the rail earning $33,616.
Alberto and Pahuja will heads-up up play with Alberto holding a 4,905,000 lead to Pahuja’s 1,075,000.
