Jared Ward opened to 22,000 preflop and was called by the small blind and David Kim in the big blind to see a flop of 9♦4♥K♦. The action checked to Ward who continued for 30,000 and wa called only by Kim to continue to the turn J♣.
Kim checked, Ward fired for 110,000, but then Kim check-raised all in, covering Ward.
Ward quickly slid out a chip to signify a call and tabled K♥9♥ for two pair, but was then shown Q♥T♦ by Kim for the nut straight.
Only a king or nine could save Ward from elimination, but the river was the 8♦ to send him to the rail while Kim scoops the pot to add to his already-massive stack.
Kim - 1,510,000
Ward - 0
