That's One Way to Build a Stack

Albert Kim recently took a hit when he ran kings into aces. He got involved again in a three-way pot with Joe Bishop and James McManus. Bishop opened the pot for 55,000, a raise which Kim called. From the small blind, McManus made it 180,000. Bishop called that raise, only to see Kim reraise behind him for a total of 680,000. McManus and Bishop both folded.

Without taking a flop, Kim increased his stack by over 360,000 chips.
