Kim Turns the Nuts to Double Off Shylko
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Brian Kim raised to 525,000 in middle position and Aliaksandr Shylko called on the button, as did big blind Orson Young.
The flop came Q♠J♥3♥ and action checked to Shylko who bet 600,000. Only Kim called.
The turn was the 10♠ and Shylko bet another 1,400,000. Kim then raised to 4,425,000, Shylko moved all in, and Kim called for 200,000 more.
Shylko showed Q♦J♦ for top two pair, but Kim had turned the nut straight holding A♦K♥. The 4♠ river didn't improve Shylko and Kim doubled up.
