Hand #101  –  Moon Kim raises from the hijack to 160,000, and Michael Mizrachi asks for a rough count of his stack. Kim says, "I started with about one-point-two (million)." Mizrachi calls from the small blind.

Marvin Rettenmaier reraises from the big blind to 630,000, and Kim quickly moves all in for 1,060,000. Mizrachi thinks for a bit before he folds, and Rettenmaier calls with [9d9h]. Kim turns over [AsQs], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [Jh7d3h4c6d], and the pocket nines hold up for Marvin Rettenmaier to win the pot and eliminate WPT Bay 101 champion Moon Kim on the TV bubble in seventh place.

Marvin Rettenmaier  –  6,715,000
Moon Kim  –  Out in 7th Place ($118,966)

With Moon Kim’s elimination, Joe Serock clinches the WPT Player of the Year title. Congratulations to Joe Serock!
