Schemion Wins with a Better Kicker
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Traian Stanciu opened the action from middle position with a raise to 6,000, only to face a three-bet from Ole Schemion in the hijack for 19,000. Stanciu called.
The flop came K♥5♦A♦, and Stanciu checked to Schemion, who continued for 10,000. Stanciu called once more.
Both the 4♣ turn and the 10♥ river were checked through.
Stanciu revealed K♠J♠ for a pair of kings, but Schemion had K♦Q♠, a pair of kings with the superior kicker, and took down the pot.
