Saakyan Holds the Better Kicker
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Rogerio Taboza raised to 900 in early position and Feliks Saakyan just called in the cutoff. The flop came A♠9♣3♦ and Taboza continued with a bet of 1,400 which Saakyan called.
The turn brought the 5♦ and Taboza checked this time. Saakyan fired out a bet of 3,000 and Taboza called to see the 2♦ on the river. Taboza checked once more and Saakyan checked it back. Taboza tabled A♥7♥ but Saakyan held A♦Q♠ for the better kicker with his pair of aces.
