HomeSJ Kim of South Korea bet 1,100 on a raised pot with a flop of Q♦ Q♥ 6♦. His lone nemesis on the hand, Renan Morales of the Philippines tanked for a bit before making the fold.
A few hands later, we saw Kim bet a bigger bet of 3,400 on another raised pot on a board of 8♣ 6♠ 2♣ 2♦ 4♣ and was yet again against Morales.
This time, Morales made the call and was shown the good news: Kim had pocket jacks. The Filipino tabled A♣ 8♣ for the nuts flush and took down the nice pot.
His friend, Richard Marquez who was playing in nearby table told us, call him “the Phil Ivey of the Philippines.”
