Shorties Double
HK$100,000 is not an insignificant amount of money, even if you are a high roller and some of the fields remaining short-stacks are holding on for dear life.
Two short-stacks who have just managed to earn themselves a double up are Roman Korenev and Dong Kim.
Korenev had already shipped the over the top of a Troy Quenneville button raise and found a fold so tried it again a few hands later, though Quenneville called the second time around, his leading Korenev��s
until the board ran out
to give Korenev the hand. The Russian climbed to 58,000 after that spot of good fortune, while Quenneville still has plenty with a stack of 194,000.
The second shortie to double was Dong Kim, who got the last of his 8,900 chips in from early position with Bertrand Grospellier choosing to look him up.
Kim��s looked pretty but was trailing to Grospellier��s
and stayed that way on the
flop. Just as Kim was standing up to leave the
turn gave him a faint glimmer of hope and his miracle comeback was complete when the
hit the river to see Kim scoop the pot.
Kim climbed to 19,200 after that timely catch while nothing is going right for Grospellier today �C the Frenchman busted his first bullet just before the dinner break and cannot seem to gain any traction and he slipped down to 32,800.
