Kim Finds a Double
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Cody Whitebear opened from middle position to 35,000 and Pil Kim moved all in for his remaining 80,000 stack on the button.
Pil Kim: A♠J♥
Cody Whitebear: A♣10♣
The 9♠5♥A♦ flop gave both top pair but Kim was still ahead.
The 5♦ turn paired the board and Whitebear was calling for a queen to chop.
The K♣ river was also good for a chop, and Whitebear said, "Or a king," saving him from loosing more of his stack.
In the next hand Kim moved all in from the cutoff for 95,000 chips, and got a call from Hunter Cole in the small blind, who had him well covered.
Pil Kim: J♥10♥
Hunter Cole: 10♠4♠
Kim had a smoother ride and secured himself the double after seeing the brick 5♠2♥8♣K♠A♥ runout.
