Sung Finds Ace From Space

Steve Sung

The cruel/great thing about poker, is that sometimes you can play perfectly, make excellent decisions and execute great moves...and still lose.

So Myung Sim knows that feeling right now after a rather brutal elimination from the tournament.

Catching the action on the flop of {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} in a battle between Sim and Steve Sung who had a bet of 3,000 in front of him in the small blind. It appeared to be a check-raise as Sim quickly committed to the call in the cutoff.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and Sung silently slid his entire stack into the middle to put Sim to a decision for all of his chips.

Sim rocked back in his chair and was pained by the decision but eventually slid his last chips into the middle to make call.

Sim flipped {K-Spades}{8-Spades} for top pair which was good as Sung revealed {A-Spades}{6-Spades} for the bluff. Sung had outs, three of them in fact, and the {A-Diamonds} on the river fell like a dagger through the heart of a dejected Sim. He hits the rail as Sung silently chips up to 40,000.
