Nguyen Chips Up, Knocks Out Kim

Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action started with a raise from the player in late position, which Tommy Nguyen three-bet from the hijack. Yoon Kim was in the cutoff and went all in. Late position folded and Nguyen called.
Yoon Kim: A?Q?
Tommy Nguyen: Q?Q?
Kim commented he needed to get lucky and got some options on the J?10?9? board. Both players flopped an open-ender and Kim said he will happily take a chop.
The turn 2? and river 9? did not bring the desired straight for Kim, however, and he was eliminated.
