Kicker Plays
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The action was joined as Dietrich Fast, in middle position, was battling with Carlos Serrano in the cutoff.
There was already 6,500 in the pot, and the two players were looking at a J♠2♠J♦ flop.
Fast placed a bet of 2,200, which Serrano called.
The 3♥ turn saw Fast put out another bet, this time for 2,700, and Serrano responded with a raise to 10,500. Fast called, and they headed to a river.
The 6♣ completed the board, seeing Fast check-call a bet of 17,000 from Serrano.
Serrano flipped over J♥9♥ for trips, but had kicker issues, as Fast revealed K♠J♣, to claim the pot.
