Richards Gives Up Against Kim
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With around 15,000 in the pot on a 3♠4♣5♥ flop, John Richards checked from the big blind and John Kim threw out a bet. Richards then check-raised to 17,000, and Kim quickly called.
A 3♦ on the turn saw Richards keep up the aggression with a bet of 30,000, and again Kim called.
When the 9♥ fell on the river, Richards thought for some time before tapping the table with one finger, and Kim quickly checked back.
Richards then showed K♦7♣ for just king-high, and Kim took it down with 8♠8♥ for a pair of eights.
