Set vs Straight Gives Kim Win
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Wooseok Kim opened from under the gun to 16,000. Ole Schemion then raised it to 46,000 in early position and it folded back round to Kim, who called.
Kim checked the J♦K♣10♠ flop, before Schemion led out for 36,000. Once again, Kim just called and we went to a turn.
The 7♠ landed, and Kim checked a second street. Schemion this time bet 79,000, which was quickly raised by the South Korean as he shoved all in. Schemion asked 'How much?' but said 'I call' before he got an answer and saw the bad news.
He had flopped top set, while Kim had flopped a straight.
Wooseok Kim: A♦Q♠
Ole Schemion: K♦K♥
The river was a 4♦, scooping Kim a huge pot and leaving Schemion with just 54,000 chips.
