Kim Herold Doubles with Kings
Last night Kim Herold was on the stage singing his heart out during the welcome drinks ceremony. Today we get to see how he does on the felts.
So far so good for Herold as if he isn't in the chip lead he is close to it.
In a recent hand, a player opened to 800 before Herold three-bet to 1,800. from the cutoff Markku Koplimaa four-bet to 6,500 and the action folded to Herold who five-bet jammed for more than 50,000.
Koplimaa went into the tank for several minutes and attempted to engage into conversation with Herold.
"Do you have kings? Do you have a strong hand?" asked Koplimaa.
"Only one way to find out," said Herold.
Koplimaa thought for several more minutes before he said: "Alright, I call."

Herold was in the lead when all the chips went into the pot and held on the entire way as the board ran out 
.
After players bag chips, if Herold isn't too tired he agreed to an interview live on Facebook with PokerNews. During the next break coming up in a few minutes, PokerNews will interview Norway's Anders Karlsen.
