Study Long, Study Wrong

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The hand was picked up with a flop of 92K already on the felt.

Zhi Yang bet 35,000 from middle position. Pyeongkang Kim raised to 90,000 from the button. Yang called.

The board paired on the turn with the 2. Yang checked, Kim bet 125,000. Yang called.

The A river hit on the river. Yang checked again.

Kim waited for a minute, then moved all-in with a covering stack.

Yang, who had 550,000 chips left, went deep into the tank with his tournament-life decision. Kim waited patiently.

Finally, Yang slammed a stack of chips down with authority to make the call.

Zhi Yang: JJAll in
Pyeongkang Kim: AK

It took a hefty 13 minutes to get from the flop to the card reveal.

Unfortunately, for Yang, despite the time he put into the hand, he could not figure out that Kim wasn't bluffing. Kim flopped top pair-top kicker and rivered top-two.
