Kim Takes From Narula, Okada Busts Li
We caught Korea��s SJ Kim involved in a hand against Vijay Narula on a flop of 
just as the latter checked the action over to Kim on the button.
Kim threw out a bet of 1,500, which Narula called to bring in the 
turn, which saw both players check.
After Narula checked for a third time on the 
river Kim fired out a pot-sized bet, which was enough to take down the hand and he climbed to 49,500 while Narula dropped to 37,500.
The field shrunk a little more the following hand with Zhe Li the most recent casualty. Li had been nursing his short stack for the past few levels after losing that early big pot against Narula.
Pre-flop it was SJ Kim who was playing his rush, opening the action from the cutoff to 1,200. Li (button) moved all-in for his last 3,975 and Japan��s Ken Okada made a quick call from the small blind.
While he did not look too pleased at this turn of events Kim made the call after a brief visit to the think tank and the action went three-way to a flop of 
.
First to act Okada fired out a 5,000 bet, Kim folded immediately and the cards were turned over.
Ken Okada: 
Zhe Li: 
While Li had caught a piece of the flop Okada��s piece was bigger and the 
turn and 
river saw Li head for the rail while Okada stacked up to 35,000.
