Kim Flops the Nuts to Take the Chip Lead

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Hold'em

To say Thomas Kim has been on a roll since the final three table redraw might be a tad of an understatement. Kim has more than quadrupled up since the redraw took place and is now the tournament chipleader after a sizeable pot against Alexander Ziskin.

Ziskin opened to 13,000 from middle position getting called by both players in the blinds including Kim in the small. A {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop fanned out and both players checked to Ziskin who continued for 19,000. Kim flatted and the big blind folded.

The {5-Spades} hit the turn and Kim checked once more. Ziskin bet 56,000 and Kim raised to 115,000. Ziskin flatted and the {6-Clubs} peeled off on the river.

Kim led with a bet of 87,000 and Ziskin called only to muck when Kim tabled the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, flopping the nuts.
