Pak Experiences Kicker Issues
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Edward Pak raised to 300,000 from the hijack, and Gerard Carbo defended his big blind.
Playing in flow, Carbo checked on the 10♠5♣8♣ flop and called when Pak continued for 275,000. The 4♦ turn was checked through, and the 9♥ completed the board. Carbo opted to lead out with a bet of 675,000, which Pak called.
Carbo tabled A♠9♠, with his kicker being the difference, as Pak held Q♣9♦.
