June Avoids Swoon
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Venkata Tayi started with a raise from the cutoff to 12,000 on a flop of J♠A♣10♠. June Kim three-bet it to 28,000 chips.
After much study, Tayi went all in with enough chips to put Kim to the test for all of his chips with the bubble looming.
Kim made the call.
June Kim: K♥Q♣
Venkata Tayi: A♠3♥
With the top straight on the flop, Kim didn't need any help. The runout of Q♥2♣ didn't change anything, and Kim got the crucial double-up.
