Song Runs into Kicker Problems
Level 22
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 8♦Q♠K♠3♦ and about 1,200,000 in the middle, Stephen Song checked from the big blind and Murat Naimanbayev bet 700,000 from the hijack. Song made the call.
Both players checked the 5♦ river. Song tabled K♥9♦ for top pair but Naimanbayev had him out-kicked with K♦J♠ and took the pot.
