Kim Cracks Aces Then Goes Down
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The action was caught when Tae Gon Kim, on the button, and the player seated on his left had already flipped their cards on a 4♣10♦5♠K♠3♣ board.
Tae Gon Kim: K♥K♦
Opponent: A♥A♣
According to Kim, he fired three barrels, with the last one being his last 12,000, and was called by the aces. Thanks to his set, Kim doubled up to 67,000.
Two hands later, Kim opened from the hijack to 1,500 and was called by Oleksii Kravchuk in the small blind.
On 9♣2♦Q♠, Kim bet 1,300, and Kravchuk check-called. Then the 4♠ landed on the turn, and Kravchuk check-called a 4,000 bet.
The J♠ came on the river, and both players checked. First to reveal his cards, Kravchuk showed Q♣10♥. It appeared to be the winning hand as Kim mucked his cards.
