Simba Cracks Aces to Score a Knockout
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action caught up with Jae Kyung Sim betting 80,000 from the small blind against an early position player, with the early position player moving all in and Simba calling on a board that read 4♠A♦2♥3♠.
Early position: A♠A♥
Jae Kyung Sim: 5♣4♣
The early position player looked strong with a set of aces on the flop, but Sim caught up with a turned wheel.
Sim just needed to avoid the board pairing to score the knockout, which is what happened on the K♥ river.
Sim, who's known to many as "Simba," is now one of the top stacks in the room.
