Lijo’s Aces Get Paid
Nível 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action started with a raise from Lander Lijo in the hijack. Jin Kim was in the big blind and defended.
The flop came 2♣8♠4♠. Kim checked and Lijo bet 60,000. Kim called.
The turn was the J♦ and Kim again checked. Lijo bet 200,000, which Kim called.
On the 2♠ river, Kim checked for the third time. Lijo put the rest of is chips in, 590,000 into a pot of around 600,000. Kim thought for a little while and then called. Lijo turned over A♠A♣.
Kim mucked his hand and was left with only 70,000 chips.
He has since been able to double up with pocket 6♦6♠ against Minh Nguyen’s 8♦9♦. Players got it in before the flop and the runout Q♦3♦A♠2♠10♥ gave Kim the only pair and the double-up.
