So Sick

World Heads Up Champion from a couple of years ago, Jeff Kimber has just been on a sick run of form to see his stack grow to 60,000.

The details are a bit rough but it went a little something like this:

All in for his last 11,000 with {Q-?} {10-?} he was called by a player who was holding {A-?} {K-?} and the board ran {K-?} {4-?} {4-?} {Q-?} {Q-?}.

The next hand he pushed from UTG with {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} and again found a caller with {A-?} {K-?}. Kimber went miles behind on the {K-Spades} {K-?} {2-?} flop but running spades were enough to get him out of it for another double up.

The last hand saw Kimber's turn to have {A-?} {K-?} and was up against an opponent's {3-?} {3-?}. No such sweat for him though as the flop came {A-?} {A-?} {A-?}! There was room to run salt into his opponent's wounds though as a three fell on the river.
