Loeser's Kicker Helps Him Take the Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

With 21,000 already in the pot on a flop of 3♣Q♣6♣, Joris Ruijs checked from middle position, and Manig Loeser bet 4,000 from the hijack. Ruijs called.

The 2♠ turn went check-check before the 3♦ rolled off on the river. Ruijs bet 8,500, and Loeser quickly called.

Ruijs showed Q♦J♦ for top pair, but it was second best to the K♦Q♠ of Loeser, who held the same pair with a better kicker.
