Kim Turns the Nuts to Double Off Shylko
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Brian Kim raised to 525,000 in middle position and Aliaksandr Shylko called on the button, as did big blind Orson Young.
The flop came Q?J?3? and action checked to Shylko who bet 600,000. Only Kim called.
The turn was the 10? and Shylko bet another 1,400,000. Kim then raised to 4,425,000, Shylko moved all in, and Kim called for 200,000 more.
Shylko showed Q?J? for top two pair, but Kim had turned the nut straight holding A?K?. The 4? river didn't improve Shylko and Kim doubled up.
