Sang Kim Not Playing Many Pots
Sep 18, '08
We've played 25 hands so far and Sang Kim has only won one of those pots. His strategy has worked so far to earn him an extra $100,000, but he'll have to get involved soon if he wants to move up even further.
EDIT: He just picked up a pot with an all in raise when Dan Heimiller opened preflop.
