When Sid Kim decided to call the all-in move of a short-stacked player pre-flop, things weren't looking too rosy when his {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

was looking rather mediocre compared to the pocket kings of his opponent.

The flop brought {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

and it appeared that the short stack was set to double up.

However the turn was the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, and suddenly Kim's hand had life with both straight and flush draw possibilities.

The river was the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and Kim made his straight to send the unlucky player home with a bad-beat story to tell his buddies.
