Kim Back in Contention
After doubling up a couple of hands earlier, Gab Yong Kim made a raise to 21,000 from the hijack. Ioannis Angelou-Konstas then three-bet to 70,000 from the cutoff and the action folded back to Kim, who called.
The flop of 4♠7♣A♥ saw Kim check and Angelou-Konstas bet 23,000 chips. Kim stuck around with a call and the 3♦ turn was dealt. Kim checked again and Angelou-Konstas kept up the pressure by betting 60,000.
Kim then stuck in a raise to 140,000, more than half his remaining chips. Angelou-Konstas mulled it over before putting in the call. On the 5♦ river, Kim stuck in the rest of his chips, amounting to 127,000. Angelou-Konstas asked for a count but eventually folded after thinking the situation over for a bit.
Kim raked in the chips and was back to more than three-quarters of a starting stack.
