, and Kaikhah moved all in with AK
. The flop was about as good as Kaikhah could have hoped for, especially considering he was called by the KJ of Kim Gonzalez, who was sitting directly to his left. Kaikhah was far out in front to double up his short stack and continue battling for the nearly $200,000 top prize. However, the J was a devastating turn of events for Kaikhah, as he went from a huge favorite to a huge underdog in the hand. Gonzalez was able to turn top two pair, much to the dismay of his opponent. Kaikhah needed to catch an ace or queen on the river in order to avoid elimination. The 7 was no help, and Gonzalez took the pot to grow his stack to around 200,000, while a frustrated Kaikhah was out.
