Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vince Kim raised to 12,000 from late position and was called by a player in the big blind.

Kim continued for 18,000 on the well-connected board of 7♠6♠4♠, with the player in the big blind coming along.

Both players checked the 3♣ turn and the player in the big blind put Kim to the test with a bet of 28,000 on the 2♣ river, for a final board reading 7♠6♠4♠3♣2♣.

Kim thought for a moment before tossing in the calling chips and showing down A♥6♦, which was good, as the player in the big blind tabled K♠Q♥.
