Kelly Kim Wins the Battle of the Blinds

Kelly Kim limped from the small blind and when Darus Suharto checked his option, they saw a {J-Spades}

flop. They both checked, and when the turn brought the {3-Spades}

Kelly bet 250,000 and Darus called.

The {5-Clubs}

fell on the river and when Kim bet 550,000, Suharto again called. Kim showed {J-Diamonds}

and as Suharto mucked his cards, Kim's supporters cheered from the rail and the lounge. He's up to 7.5 million, while Suharto is down to 10.5.
