Keown Shows the Best Kicker
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Dean Keown raised it up in early position and picked up three callers preflop. The flop came K♦3♠3♥ and the big blind led out with a bet of 17,000. Keown just called and so did Jason Maeroff in the cutoff.
The turn was the 4♠ and the big blind checked this time. Keown splashed in a bet of 25,000 and both Maeroff and the big blind called. The 5♠ hit the river and the action checked around. Keown flipped over K♠Q♠ and both of his opponents flashed a king as well but couldn't beat Keown's kicker.
