Cowboys Keep Kim Alive
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gab Yong Kim raised to 20,000 from the cutoff, with just 6,000 behind. Thomas de Rooij called from the small blind and they went to the flop.
De Rooij put Kim all-in on the 10♣2♦5♣ flop and Kim snap-called.
Gab Yong Kim: K♣K♠ 
Thomas De Rooij: A♠6♠
Kim had found pocket kings just when he needed it and just had to fade an ace. The K♦ hit the turn to give Kim a set, leaving de Rooij drawing dead. A Q♦ came on the river and Kim had doubled up.
