Jon Kim
Last December, Jonathan Kim topped a field of 464 entries to win this very event for $107,659. He then returned in April and nearly defended that title, ultimately finishing runner-up to Mark Wadekamper in a field of 475 entries, good for $66,593.
Unfortunately for Kim, he won’t be making another deep run this go around.
In a recent hand, Luke Blindert limped from middle position and Kim moved all in for 30,700 from the hijack. Action folded back to Blindert and he thought for a bit before making the call.

It was a flip, but Kim needed to improve to stay alive. That proved easier said than done though as the board ran out a lowly ![8c](/images/pokercards/8c.gif)
