Kim Takes Down Back-to-Back Pots
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player opened and Jong Kim moved all in for around 25,000. The initial raiser called and the two tabled their hands with Kim at risk of elimination.
Jong Kim: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
and Kim's set of queens took down the pot for a complete double through his opponent.
The very next hand a player in late position opened and Kim called to see the 
flop. Kim check-raised all in for 52,000 and his opponent called for slightly less.
Kim tabled 
for a set of snowmen and was in great shape as his opponent showed 
for just a pair of kings. The 
turn and 
river didn't alter a thing as Kim scooped the pot, eliminating his opponent en route to adding another large pot to his stack.
