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 3710 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: Q7 All in
Jose Malpelli: 76

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