Slimming Down

Thomas "Amarillo Slim" Preston limped in from mid-position and called after the button made it 1,200 to go. The flop came {6-Hearts}

and both players checked. The turn brought the {K-Diamonds}

and Slim's opponent led out for 1,200. Slim bumped the bet to 2,700, which put his opponent all in. His opponent called, showed A-K while Slim showed K-J. The river was of no help and Slim fell down to just 1,300 after the hand.
