Marco Johnson: A♣Q♥
Kim was hoping to hold with pocket fives, but things were looking tricky after the flop came A♠A♥10♥. Kim needed to see a five to keep him alive, but the Q♣ turn locked Johnson up the pot having flopped trips and turned the boat. The Q♠ river was placed as Kim stood from the table, having hit the rail in eighth place for $57,780.
