Kim Up, Rodrigo Down

[user162117]

Andrew Kim can not be stopped lately. He is playing great poker, but it doesn't hurt to take to a {5-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} flop holding {7-Spades} {4-Spades} . In the hand in question, Rafael Rodrigo opened it up to 60,000 from under the gun and Kim called on the button. The blinds got out of the way and the flop was dealt.

Rodrigo led for 75,000 and Kim called with his flopped straight to see a {9-Clubs} hit the turn. This time Rodrigo would check and then call a bet of 150,000 from Kim. The {k-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Rodrigo again checked. This time Kim bet 250,000 and another call from Rodrigo would see Kim reveal his straight. Too good for Kim, it sent his cards straight into the muck.
