Wooka Walks

Wooka Kim busting in the battle of the blinds

With the action slowly folding round to Wooka Kim in the small blind, she opened with a raise to 700.

Steve Paul-Ambrose made the call from the big blind, and when Kim checked the {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, he fired out 900.

Kim then made it 3,000 to go before Paul-Ambrose instantly made it 10,000 to put Kim all in. Kim obliged by sliding her last ten yellow 1,000-denomination chips into the pot and the cards were tabled.

Kim: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Paul-Ambrose: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

With Paul-Ambrose in bad shape to only a king, or running straight or flush cards, he would hit gin on the turn when it landed the {K-Hearts}.

Now needing to catch her two-outer to stay alive, Kim would unfortunately only see the {j-Diamonds} land on the river, and a hasty exit follow.
