Kang Frustrated

Benjamin Kang
Benjamin Kang
Benjamin Kang has several stacks that are taller than 200,000 chips to deal with on his left-hand side. That's probably frustrating enough, but it must be even more frustrating to lose a pot to one of the shorter stacks.

Kang opened preflop for 8,500 and was called by the cutoff and the big blind. The big blind checked a flop of {10-Spades} {3-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} to Kang, who made a continuation-bet of 15,500. Only the cutoff called.

When the turn fell {10-Clubs}, Kang checked. His opponent thoughtfully pushed 25,000 chips into the middle after getting a rough eyeball count of Kang's stack. Kang immediately mucked and could be seen shaking his head and talking to himself after the hand.
