Kiem rails Hope in the first 20 minutes


Peter Janghwan Kiem has quickly doubled up here at the Main Event after railing Anthony Joseph Hope just 20 minutes into the tournament. Catching the action at the flop of Q Q 7, and a raised pot pre flop, Joseph check-called Kiem’s bet of 1250 to see the turn card land 10. Again Hope checked to Kiem who sent out 2300 worth of chips, and Hope smooth-called once more. Then on the river of 7, Hope checked again, Kiem bet 7000 but instead of his usual call, Hope raised all-in and Kiem snap called. Kiem won the hand with his 7 7 quads against Hope’s Q 10 full house.
