Holst Doubles with a Higher Kicker Against Jaffee

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The turned board showed {10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} and the pot had around 60,000 in it. Kristina Holst checked to Jared Jaffee, he bet 31,000 and was quickly check-raised to 139,000 as Holst moved all in.

Jaffee used a time extension, ultimately he called and the two turned over their hands with Holst at risk. Jaffee tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for three queens with a king kicker, Holst showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for three queens with a higher kicker in her ace.

The {j-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Holst found herself a full double up through Jaffee with her higher kicker.
