Boyaciyan Has Kicker Problems

Tim Baker

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Danyel Boyaciyan jammed for his last 45,500 from the small blind with the board showing 9♥4♦Q♦5♠ and got looked up by Zoja Fleischer in the cutoff.

Danyel Boyaciyan: Q♥10♠ All in
Zoja Fleischer: K♠Q♠

Both players held top pair, but Boyaciyan was in rough shape with the inferior kicker.

The 2♥ river was no help to Boyaciyan, and all of his chips were sent over to Fleischer.
