Moon Kim Doubles Thru and Cripples Ron Coury

Joe Serock raises to 64,000 from middle position, Ron Coury (standing, right) calls on the button, and Season X Bay 101 Shooting Star Champ Moon Kim (bottom right) moves all-in for 403,000 from the small blind. Serock folds, while Coury asks for a count.

Coury learns the amount, which is almost exactly as many chips as he has. He thinks for over a minute before calling with [8c8s]. He is racing with Kim’s [AcQh].

The [Qs9d2h] pairs up Kim and prompts him to let out a celebratory, "yes." The [10d] on the turn does give Coury a gutshot straight draw, but he gets no help from the [7c] on the river, so Kim takes the pot to double up and leave Coury with less than one big blind.

Moon Kim – 950,000 (32 BBs)
Ron Coury – 23,000 (1 BB)
