Kang Keeps Climbing

[user66118]

When Benjamin Kang stands up, it certainly draws the eye. We walk up to his table as a flop of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

is spread on the board, and about 25,000 chips are already piled in the middle of the table. We see that Kang is all in for 31,700, now standing behind his chair towering over the table. He has been put at risk by a big-stacked opponent across the table.

The young opponent tabled {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

for the overpair, but Kang had flopped lucky, his {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

turning into a set. The {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

was a blank on the turn, and the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

that fell on the river was safe as well, neither man holding a club. With his timely set, Kang has earned a big double up, sitting with right at 90,000 now.
