Fives Hold for Kim; Doubles Through Kirby

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jonathan Kim
Jonathan Kim

Matt Kirby opened under the gun for 7,000 and action folded to Jonathan Kim who jammed for 66,000 on the button, Kirby called.

Matt Kirby: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Jonathan Kim: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Kirby held overs but couldn't connect on the {7-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop.

The {8-Hearts} turn paired the board adding more outs to Kirby's hand as Kim could get counterfeited with any king or seven.

Luckily for Kim the river was the {2-Diamonds} securing his double.
