Cech Wins Pot With Higher Kicker
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Vitezslav Cech raised from early position, Mercedes Ostri called, Linus Hjulstroem called on the button, and the big blind also came along.
The flop was 9♥K♠A♣. The player in the big blind checked and Cech fired out a continuation bet of 1,900. Ostri called and then Hjulstroem raised to 7,500. Only Cech made the call.
The turn came the 5♠ and both players checked to the river, which was the 6♥. Cech bet out and Hjulstroem called. Hjulstroem had AxJx for a pair of aces with jack kicker. Cech showed A♠Q♠ for top pair with the queen kicker to win the pot.
