The flop came {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, Esfandiari check-raised the 55,000 continuation-bet of Bogdanov to 160,000 which was called.

The turn brought them the {a-Spades}, Esfandiari check-called the 225,000 bet of Bogdanov.

They then proceeded to check through the {6-Hearts} on the river for Esfandiari to pick up the pot with {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the flopped two pair before they could really go for their break.

Kim's River Check-Raise Does the Job

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Kim checked again and Kashishian threw in another bet of 225,000. Kim check-raised to 500,000 which was a good portion of Kashishian's remaining chips. He thought for over a minute before engaging in some table-talk.

"You got it?" Kashishian asked.

"I forget," was Kim's response.

Kashishian elected to lay his hand down and Kim flashed the {8-Diamonds} as he collected the pot.
