Patrick James
Following a raise from under the gun+1 Minseo Kim, small blind Patrick James and big blind Long Hin Shiao defended to take the battle to the flop.
With the cards running 9 ♠️ 8 ♥️ K ♣️, it was checked to the aggressor Kim who continued to represent strength with a bet of 5,000. Only James called for a turn card of 6 ♦️. Action repeated with James checking again and Kim firing a bet, this time a larger 11,500. James didn't bat an eyelash with a quick call for a river card 7 ♦️.
Switching up, James dipped in and pulled out 25,000, Kim gave it a thought then tossed in the one-chip call. James revealed K ♥️ 10 ♥️ straight to claim the pot.
