Kim Crushes Cloutier on the Turn
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
San Kim and Eric Cloutier exchanged raises before the flop until Cloutier was all in for his last 40,000 on the button and Kim put him at risk in middle position.
Eric Cloutier: Q♥Q♣
San Kim: J♥10♣
Cloutier had caught Kim making a move and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came 2♣7♠9♣. The turn, though, brought the 8♠ to give Kim a straight. The J♦ completed the board on the river and a stunned Cloutier made his way to the rail.
"You should go play a cash game tonight, you'll make $100,000," tablemate Kenny Nguyen joked with Kim.
"I don't play that way in a cash game," Kim replied with a smile as he stacked up nearly 300,000.
