Yacoub Has Kicker Problems
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Andrey Pateychuk made it 400,000 to go from early position with only Dori Yacoub defending out of the big blind.
On the 2♣A♠K♥ flop, Yacoub check-called a bet of 600,000 from Pateychuk.
The K♣ turn checked through and the 4♠ landed on the river. Yacoub led out for 1,800,000 and Pateychuk made the call. Yacoub turned over A♦7♣ for a pair of aces, but was out-kicked by Pateychuk's A♣J♠.
