Kim Can't Maximize Kings

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kelly Kim's stack hasn't made much progress today. That may be due in part to an inability for Kim to maximize his big hands. He recently was sitting in position when Lee Markholt raised preflop to 500. Kim called, then saw Yury Kerzhapkin re-raise (also in position) to 2,000. Only Kim called.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

flop. Kim checked again when the turn fell {J-Hearts}

, then called a bet of 2,500 from Kerzhapkin. Both players quickly checked the {2-Spades}

river, with Kim's {K-Clubs}

being enough to collect the modest pot.
