: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Hold'em
To say Thomas Kim has been on a roll since the final three table redraw might be a tad of an understatement. Kim has more than quadrupled up since the redraw took place and is now the tournament chipleader after a sizeable pot against Alexander Ziskin.
Ziskin opened to 13,000 from middle position getting called by both players in the blinds including Kim in the small. A 
flop fanned out and both players checked to Ziskin who continued for 19,000. Kim flatted and the big blind folded.
The 
hit the turn and Kim checked once more. Ziskin bet 56,000 and Kim raised to 115,000. Ziskin flatted and the 
peeled off on the river.
Kim led with a bet of 87,000 and Ziskin called only to muck when Kim tabled the 
, flopping the nuts.
