De Souza Has the Higher Kicker
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Zeynettin Aydin limped from the small blind and Belarmino De Souza made it around 29,000 from the big blind. Aydin called and the two players saw the A♠K♦9♣ flop come down.
Aydin fired out for 8,000, and was met by a raise to 19,000 from De Souza. Aydin continued in the form of a call.
Aydin bet the minimum of 8,000 again on the 3♠ turn. This time, De Souza just called.
A 5♦ river prompted Aydin to fire the same minimum bet of 8,000. Again, De Souza just called.
Aydin showed J♠8♥ for a pair of eights but was out-kicked by De Souza's Q♠8♠.
