Pocket Rockets Propel Kwon to a Triple

Level 4 : 175/350, 35 ante
Yong "YK" Kwon
Yong "YK" Kwon

In the last hand of Level 3 (150/300/30), Zach "Kings702" Grech raised to 750 from middle position, and "InCaseICatch" called next to act. Thomas "OtB_RedBaron" Lim then three-bet to 3,165 from the small blind before New Jersey's YK "LuckySpewy1" Kwon four-bet all in for 4,346.

Grech folded, "InCaseICatch" called, and Lim just called to see a {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop. Lim bet 4,600 and "InCaseICatch" got out of the way.

YK "LuckySpewy1" Kwon: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Thomas "OtB_RedBaron" Lim: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Kwon had the better pocket pair and locked up the welcomed triple after the {a-Clubs} turn improved him to a set. The meaningless {6-Diamonds} was run out on the river and Kwon was pushed the pot.
