Alm Doubles Through Kimes

Brett Kimes raised to 120,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Richard Alm in the small blind, who moved all in for a total of 400,000. Bobby Firestone folded the big blind, and Kimes went into the tank. He could be seen running the math in his head, and finally he called.

Kimes: {A-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Alm: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. No ace for Kimes; he doubles up Alm.

Alm's supporters, about half a dozen in all, are very raucous, and each of them is double-fisting beer. They all started shouting, "Jaaaaaaack! Jaaaaaaack!" as the hands were opened, and generally have been very disruptive. They were even shouting at Kimes while he was considering his action. All in all, they have displayed very poor sportsmanship and generally poor form for at least the last half-hour.

They have been warned by the Tournament Director that they cannot continue to be so disruptive, especially with the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament right behind us at the TV table. A second warning will result in their ejection from the Amazon Room. The floor staff have informed us that they will move our table after dinner so that it is further from the TV table.
