Kicker Problems

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 40,000 ante

Kevin Grabel raised to 665,000 from early position, Phil Neiman defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Spades}. Neiman stared down Grabel before checking, then quickly called a bet of 800,000.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}, Neiman check-called another 1.1 million, and the two knuckled after the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

"Ace," Grabel said.

"Me too," Neiman replied.

Neiman showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a jack kicker, and Grabel flicked {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} into the muck face up.
