Taylor's Kicker Plays at Showdown
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Stuart Taylor open-raised to 300 from late position, Attila Koncz called on the button and Noah Boeken called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♠Q♦J♠ and action checked to Taylor, who made a continuation-bet of 600. Both of his opponents called and then all three players checked it back on the 2♣ turn.
The river came the 2♦ and Boeken led out for 1,000. Taylor called and Koncz folded. Boeken had Q♣6♣ for two pair, queens and the deuces on board, but Taylor had A♦Q♠ for the same two pair with a higher kicker to win the pot.
