Better Kicker for Kasler
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Christopher Johnson got the action started with an open to 1,000 from the hijack. Jay Kasler three-bet to 3,000 on the button, and Johnson called in response.
The 3♣2♣Q♥ flop led to a check from Johnson before Kasler continued for 2,000. Johnson made the call.
It checked to Kasler again on the A♦ turn, which led to a bet of 4,000. Johnson stuck around with a call.
The J♦ river slowed down the action as both players checked to go to a showdown.
Johnson showed J♣9♣ for a missed flush draw that paired up on the river. It was no good as Kasler tabled K♥J♠ for a better pair of jacks to take down the pot.
