Zaffagnini's Kicker Plays
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Umberto Zaffagnini raised to 250,000 from under the gun, and only Sebastian Ionita called from the button.
Zaffagnini continued with a bet of 150,000 on the 9♠9♦Q♣ flop, and Ionita called to see a turn.
A 7♦ hit the turn and Zaffagnini opted to check-call a bet of 350,000 by Ionita.
The river came the 7♥ and once Zaffagnini checked, Ionita bet 700,000. Zaffagnini snap-called and was shown K♣Q♦ by Ionita for a pair of queens. Zaffagnini had that beat with the A♦Q♥ for a pair of queens with a higher kicker and the pot went over to him.
