Albert Kim Puts Bishop in Check

Action folded to Joe Bishop in middle position and he raised to 225,000. Albert Kim made the call from late position and they took a flop heads up.

The flop came {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and Bishop led out for 350,000. Kim raised to 950,000 and Bishop made a relatively quick call.

The {Q-Clubs} hit the turn and both players checked. When the {Q-Hearts} hit the river, Bishop checked and said, "You're not gonna bet here." Kim did indeed bet, this time 600,000. Bishop took his time before finally calling. Kim showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and while he waited for Bishop he nervously said, "Now don't slow-roll me."

Bishop threw his hand into the muck and Kim stacked the pot. He is now up to just over 8,000,000, while Bishop slipped to just over 5,000,000 chips.
