Mike Kim Doubles Up

[user75032]

Mike Kim

On the first hand back from the break, Mike Kim -- who has been relatively silent the last two hours -- opened the button to 150,000. After Daoxing Chen passed, Darkhan Botabayev moved all in from the big blind.

"Call," said Kim.

"Call?" Botabayev asked, somewhat surprised. He tabled {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

and was in a dominating position against Kim's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

. Nobody improved on the all-baby {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

flop or the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

turn, but the gallery erupted when the 3-outer {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

fell on the river to give Kim the double-up.

Kim now has 1.75 million chips. Botabayev is down to about 1.85 million.
