SJ Kim nears 400k, rails Terry Gonzaga

There are several past APT Main event champions running very well today with Gyeong Byeong Lee as one of the chip leaders with around 380K in chips. Soo Jo Kim now joined him up in the ranks and may even hold the chip lead with nearly 400k. Kim won two hefty pots with one causing the fall of Terry Gonzaga and the other a big pot against Ram Farajash.

First hand: Gonzaga raised to 5200, Kim called, Steffen Endres three-bet to 17.3k, Gonzaga called, Kim four-bet to 50k, Endres folded, Gonzaga called for all his chips. Gonzaga had 5♥ 5♦ and Kim with Q♣ Q♦. The board bricked.

Next hand: Farajash raised to 6k, Kim re-raised to 15k, Farajash called. On the flop 4♠ 9♠ A♠, Farajash checked, Kim bet 16.5k, Farajash called. On the turn Q♣, action was the same with Farajash check-calling Kim’s 25k bet. On the river 4♣, Farajash checked, Kim announced all in, and Farajash folded.
