With about 450,000 in the pot, action went check-check, and the 8♣ rolled off on the river. Kyung Sim checked and Bros put out a bet of 200,000.
Kyung Sim went into the tank for several minutes, which prompted another player to call the clock. Kyung Sim decided to make the call, and mucked his cards when Bros tabled A♠J♠, for two pair, aces and nines.
