Hyunsup Kim Leaves Vitalijs Zavorotnijs on the Ropes

Dec 17, 2023

Hyunsup Kim

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs opens to 85,000 on the cutoff and Hyunsup Kim calls in the big blind. On a Club JHeart JDiamond 4 flop, Kim checks and subsequently calls a bet of 40,000 by Zavorotnijs.

The Spade 2 turn is checked through and the Club Q follows on the river. Kim bets 130,000 to earn a swift call and Zavorotnijs shakes his head when he gets shown the Spade JHeart 7 for trips jacks. The 2019 WPT Barcelona Main Event champion drops to a mere six big blinds.

Kim’s stack is quite impressive, yet Artur Martirosyan is a lot further ahead.

Artur Martirosyan – 7,300,000 (182 bb)
Hyunsup Kim – 4,250,000 (106 bb)
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs – 230,000 (6 bb)
