Johnson Puts Kim to the Test
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Pyeongkang Kim raised to 300,000 in the hijack and was called by Marco Johnson in the small blind and Kenzo Ishida in the big blind.
The 10♣10♦8♦ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn, where Johnson led out for 350,000. Ishida folded and Kim raised to 1,000,000. Johnson then reraised to 1,800,000 and Kim called bringing the 4♦ river, which completed both straight and flush draws.
Johnson thought for a moment before moving all in to put Kim at risk, who had 2,325,000 behind. Kim counted out his chips and tossed his card into the muck. Johnson showed 9♠9♦ as he dragged in the pot.
"Might have been the best hand," said Chino Rheem, before Kim indicated that he had ace-eight.
