No Kicker, No Problem for Ragone
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos opened from the hijack and Filippo Ragone defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♣J♣9♦, and Ragone check-called a 35,000 bet from Lampropulos.
Both players checked the 2♠ turn, leading to the 9♥ river. Ragone bet 150,000, and Lampropulos called.
Ragone turned over A♠4♠ for two pair, aces and nines which was enough to win the hand.
