The Kicker Plays
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Steve Bezler raised to 3,000 from the UTG+1 position, and both blinds defended.
After the three players checked to the turn on a board reading 
, the small blind led out for 4,000.
The big-blind player then raised to 12,000, which was followed by an all-in shove from the UTG+1 player.
Once the player in the small blind got out of the way, the big-blind player asked for a count, and once the dealer confirmed the amount was 33,900 total he thought for a moment but eventually made the call.
He then looked a little pained once the hands were tabled and he saw he was on the wrong side of a cooler.
Bezler: 
Big Blind: 
The 
river kept Bezler in the lead and secured his double up.
