Buldygin Has Kicker Problems
Level 1
: Blinds 400/400, 400 ante
Antoine Hasbani checked from the small blind and Viacheslav Buldygin checked out of the big blind on a flop of J♠5♣2♥. Sari Haddad bet 700 from the button, which Hasbani and Buldygin called.
Hasbani chose to lead out for 5,000 upon seeing the 9♥ turn, which only Buldygin called.
The 6♦ river saw Hasbani opt for a check-call after Buldygin bet 4,500. Buldygin turned over Q♥J♥ for top pair, but was out-kicked by Hasbani's K♣J♣.
