Isaia's Kicker is in Play
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
After the dealer dealt out the A♣2♥3♠ flop, OIer Cetincakmak bet 3,000 from the hijack into two opponents. Alessio Isaia called from the cutoff before Renato Minicuci jammed for 17,800 from the blinds. Cetincakmak folded, but Isaia put in the call.
Renato Minicuci: A♦4♦ 
Alessio Isaia: A♥9♥
Both players had paired their ace, but Isaia held the higher kicker. The rest of the board came Q♣A♠ to give both players trips. Isaia's nine-kicker played, and Minicuci was out.
