Kim Gets a Lucky Double Up

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Won Kim and Zachary Seymour battled in a preflop raising war which resulted in Kim being all in for 140,500. Seymour headed to the flop with a dominating hand of {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} against Kim's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} as Kim pulled into the lead with a pair of jacks. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn improved Kim's hand to trips and the {2-Clubs} on the river secured the double up.
