Kicker Plays, Stoica Doubles

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Roman Stoica
Roman Stoica

Jose Malpelli opened to 60,000 on the button, and Roman Stoica called in the big blind.

On a 3♠7♥10♠ flop, Stoica executed a check-raise when Malpelli continued for 50,000. He upped the price to 130,000, which Malpelli called.

The turn brought the 10♥, and Stoica reverted to checking. Malpelli bet 400,000, enough to cover the 340,000 stack of Stoica, and Stoica called.

Roman Stoica: Q♠7♠ All in
Jose Malpelli: 7♦6♦

The 9♠ completed the board, and Stoica's two pair with a better kicker saw him earn a full double-up.
