Babayev Runs into "Kicker Problem"

Ryan Lashmar

Level 2 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tugce Hursoz opened to 2,000 from the hijack and Agharazi Babayev called from the cutoff.

Both players checked the 7♠6♥2♥ flop leading to the Q♠ on the turn. Hursoz bet 2,000 and Babayev called.

Both players checked the 2♠ river and Hursoz tabled J♥J♦ for a pair of jacks.

Babayev joked that he had "kicker problems" before mucking his hand and conceding the pot to Hursoz.
