Massive Action Nets Korman Big Pot

See if you can follow this action. Sam Korman was the first player into the pot preflop, opening the action with a raise to 1,500. He was re-raised by Andrew Li, sitting in middle position, to 3,300, who was re-raised in turn to 7,800 by Alexander Soderlund.

That brought action back around to Korman. He called both raises, but Li wasn't done raising. He moved all in for 15,875 total. Soderlund decided that just calling that raise was the best idea, but then when action moved back to Korman, he moved all in himself for about 40,000.

That left Soderlund with quite a predictament, which he resolved by folding. With all preflop action finally complete, Li opened pocket queens and found himself against Korman's pocket kings. The board came {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} {A-Spades} {10-Spades} to send Li to the rail. Korman dragged a pot worth 84,600.
