Eight Kicker Gets it Done
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Sebastian Henao raised to 5,000 in the cutoff, and Oliver Weis defended his big blind.
Weis check-called a bet of 2,500 on a 2♠J♣Q♣ flop before the 5♣ turn and K♠ river checked through.
Weis tabled A♣8♥, which was enough to win the pot as Henao revealed his own ace-high with A♠7♥, to be pipped by one on the kicker.
"You had no way of winning", Weis said, implying that any river bet by Henao would have been raised as a bluff.
