Kicker Problems

Oh, those pesky kickers. Even in deuce-to-seven, they can be problematic. Mickey Appleman was all in before the draw and was called by Matt Glantz. Appleman stood pat; Glantz drew one. After the draw, Glantz showed a very rough ten: T-9-7-6-5. Appleman also had a rough ten, but it was just a little less rough than Glantz's: T-9-7-6-2. Appleman's deuce kicker played to allow him to take down the pot. Glantz was eliminated a few hands later.
