Dvoress Catches Kim Speeding
Martin Kabrhel limped in from the button with K♣6♣. Daniel Dvoress followed suit from the small blind with 7♥7♣ and Gab Yong Kim checked his option in the big blind with 9♥4♠.
The trio saw a flop of 8♠4♣8♥, on which the action checked to Kabrhel. He made the minimum bet of 300,000, which Dvoress called. Kim then fired a raise to 950,000, which forced Kabrhel out of the pot. Dvoress stuck around with his pocket pair, however, and the pair saw the J♣ turn.
Kim did not relent and made another bet of 875,000 chips after a check from Dvoress. However, Dvoress still did not believe the South Korean and made another call before the 2♥ river completed the board.
Both players now checked in quick succession and Dvoress extended his chip lead when he tabled his pocket sevens for the win. Meanwhile, Kim was left with less than ten big blinds.
