Kim Applies Pressure
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Wook Kim, who was on the button, powered up against an opponent on a board showing 6♠J♠4♦7♣ and a pot containing a little more than 100,000.
After his opponent checked the turn, Kim fired 85,000, which his opponent called.
The river brought 6♦ to pair the board. The player in early position checked, and Kim slowly collected chips in front of him making a 135,000 bet.
Kim’s opponent went deep in the tank, using more than a minute to think it over. Then, he asked the dealer to spread the pot, which showed more than 250,000.
After returning to the tank for a few more seconds, Kim’s opponent folded.
