Lybaert Has Kicker Problems
Level 7
: Blinds 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Bart Lybaert raised the button to 35,000 with Fahredin Mustafov calling from the small blind, and Mehdi Chaoui defending from the big blind.
The action checked to Lybaert on the Q♦Q♠7♠ flop, and he fired out a bet of 30,000. Mustafov check-raised to 100,000, which forced Chaoui to fold, but Lybaert stuck around with a call.
Mustafov bet 150,000 when the K♣ landed on the turn and was met by a raise to 385,000 from Lybaert. Mustafov called.
The two players checked the 8♦ river, and Mustafov took down the pot with K♠9♠ for a pair of kings. Lybaert showed the K♦ and Mustafov commented to Lybaert, "You always have kicker problems huh"
