Ken Ji Cracks Kings

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a flop reading {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Ken Ji was in the small blind and check-called his opponent's shove from the hijack, with Ji having him covered.

Ji tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} while his opponent tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Ji was behind, but the dealer put out the {j-Spades} on the turn and he pulled way ahead. His opponent stood up from the table before the {5-Hearts} hit the river, and then he headed for the door.

Ji stacked up his chips while another player at the table asked, "How did you call off there? He was the tightest player at the table." Ji just smiled.
