Green Pips Wang in the Kicker Department
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan Wang raised to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Richard Green on his left and Michael Berk in the big blind. The flop came Q♥J♣3♠ and the action checked to Green who bet 18,000. Berk quickly folded but Wang called to see the 7♥ on the turn.
Both players checked and the J♥ paired the board on the river. Wang led out with a bet of 20,000 and Green quickly called. Wang showed Q♠8♠ for two pair but Green held Q♣9♣ for the same two pair but one kicker better.
