Goncalves' Kicker Plays

Tim Baker

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Vinicius Goncalves raised to 100,000 from early position, and John Juanda defended from the big blind.

After Juanda checked, Goncalves bet 90,000 on the 9♥10♥A♠ flop, and Juanda called.

The 4♥ turn checked through for the 7♣ to complete the board. Juanda bet 185,000, and Goncalves quickly called.

Juanda showed A♦3♠ for a pair of aces, but was out-kicked by the A♥J♠ of Goncalves.
