Better Kicker for Paliwal

This hand was picked up on a flop that read 10♥9♥9♦ with approximately 22,000 in the middle.

A player from early position bet 7,000 on the flop, and Rajat Paliwal called from the hijack.

The 3♣ turn led to a bet of 23,000 from the player in early position. Paliwal took his time to think it over before he made the call.

Both players knuckled the 6♣ river to go to a showdown.

The early position player showed K♠10♦ for tens up with a king kicker. Paliwal revealed it was no good, as he showed A♣10♣ for the same two pair, but with an ace kicker to claim the pot.
