Varvat's Kicker Plays at Showdown
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Following a button raise to 6,000, Guillaume Darcourt called in the small blind, then Jean-Baptiste Varvat three-bet to 25,000. The button folded and Darcourt called.
The flop ran out K♣A♦3♦ and Darcourt checked. Varvat put out a bet of 15,000 and Darcourt called. On the 6♥ turn, Darcourt checked again and Varvat bet 50,000, which Darcourt called.
The river came the 5♥ and Darcourt checked for a third time. Varvat decided to check it back to showdown. Darcourt had A♣10♦ for a pair of aces, but Varvat showed A♠Q♥ for a pair of aces with higher kicker to win the pot.
