Joanello's Kicker Plays

Level 39 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Toby Price raised to 2,500,000 and Paulo Joanello defended. Both players checked the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop before Joanello led out for 2,500,000 on the {3-Spades} turn.

Price called and the {7-Diamonds} fell on the river. Joanello checked, then called when Price bet 4,200,000.

"King," Price said, turning over {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. But Joanello had him out-kicked with {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

"I wasn't asking if you had a king. I was saying I had a king," Price joked after the hand. The two players are now virtually even in chips.

Price Picks Up a Fan

Level 38 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Toby Price raised to 2,300,000 from the button. "I'm just following your suit. That's your raise so I thought that's what you're supposed to do," he told Paulo Joanello, who called.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Price continued for 2,500,000. Joanello called, then both players checked down the {5-Hearts} turn and {j-Hearts} river.

"Four-fifths of a straight flush," Price said, showing {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a flush to take the pot.

Price has added a rail to counter Joanello's large and passionate Brazilian following, a player who happened to be on break from another tournament and stopped to watch.

"You can root for me. Otherwise I have nobody," he said. "It's now 12 on two instead of 12 on one."

After winning the previous two hands as well, Toby Price raised to 2,300,000 on the button. Paulo Joanello defended from the big blind and the flop came {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Joanello checked once more and Price made a small bet of 2,000,000 which Joanello paid off. Price showed {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of tens and Joanello mucked his cards.
