The Rail Explodes as Moroz Takes Out Kim
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Four players saw a flop of Q♠2♦A♠ where Kenneth Kim bet 375,000 in the hijack. Yegor Moroz then raised to 850,000 in the cutoff.
Malcolm Franchi and Brian Hawkins folded as action went back to Kim who called. The turn was the 2♥ and Moroz bet 2,075,000.
Kim then moved all in for 6,050,000 and Moroz tanked for a minute before calling. Kim showed K♠Q♦ for two pair, while Moroz had A♦Q♣ for aces and queens.
"He's dead," Moroz's passionate rail yelled out when the cards were revealed. The river was the 3♦ and they erupted in celebration as Moroz raised his arms into the air, then ran over and embraced his supporters as the massive pot was pushed his way.
"Your rail is very subtle," tablemate Charles Russell told him when Moroz sat back down.
