The kicker not only played but hit as the board gave Chidwick kings and fours.
David Peters min-raised to 32,000 in the hijack and Michael Addamo filled up out of the big blinds. The flop brought and Addamo opted to check-call for 22,000. The turn was checked and Addamo bet the river for 99,000.
Peters called with and Addamo had to flip over for a bluff gone wrong.
Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 32,200 and Wiktor Malinowski three-bet jammed for 132,355. Joakim Andersson called on the button only for Bert Stevens to jam over the top. Dzivielevski called it off as the second shortest stack and Andersson folded.
The flop gave Dzivielevski a miracle set and he held onto the lead on the turn and river. Malinowski was gone and Stevens was left with a below-average stack.
Wiktor Malinowski defended the big blind against a raise by Joao Vieira and they headed to the flop. That's when the chips went in as Malinowski check-raised.

Wiktor Malinowski:
The turn was a sweat with the superior flush draw but the river awarded the double to Vieira.
Timothy Adams was not as fortunate in his final showdown. He got it in from the button against Michael Addamo in the hijack in what turned out to be a fair fight.

Michael Addamo:
The flop gave Adams queens and fours but Addamo caught a flush thanks to the turn and river.
