A Double and More for Kim

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Gab Yong Kim
Gab Yong Kim

Andrea Cortellazzi made it 170,000 to go from under the gun. Gab Yong Kim then pushed from the small blind and the Italian asked for a count. The shove by Kim was for 890,000 total and Cortellazzi used an additional two time bank extensions of 30 seconds each before making the call.

Gab Yong Kim: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Andrea Cortellazzi: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop was no threat for Kim while the {7-Hearts} turn opened some chop opportunities for his opponent. However, the {k-Hearts} river was another blank and Kim doubled.

Shortly after, Armin Rezaei opened to 125,000 in the cutoff. "How much do you have?" Kim asked to which Rezaei replied with around 1.8 million. Kim then pushed all-in from the button and Cortellazzi asked for a count while in the big blind. The next shove by Kim was for 1,900,000 and Cortellazzi folded, as did Rezaei.

After the hand was over, Rezaei asked "were you strong?" and his table neighbour grinned back with a simple "no". Both even discussed the previous tussle to which Rezaei remarked to Kim "you made a good fold".
