Joseph Kim

Joseph Kim open-shoved for 3,075,000 from under the gun, it folded around to Pritpal Virdee in the small blind and he called with the bigger stack.

Kim: KsQc
Virdee: AhQd

Kim was dominated and needed help to double. He got that when he paired his king on the Kc7c6h flop. The 3d turn and 8d river finished the board for Kim’s double.

Virdee was left short and eliminated shortly after.

Joseph Kim – 5,550,000 (28 bb)
