Tony G. Out Kicks His Opponent

We caught this hand heading to the river with 9,750 already in the pot and a board of {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

When the {J-Hearts} fell on the river, the player in the small blind bet 6,000 and Tony G. went into the tank for a couple of minutes from the big blind. He finally made the call and showed {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, out kicking his opponent who held {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

The hand boosted the G back into the black, giving him a stack worth 38,800.
