Ace High Good for Leecy

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In what seems to be an ongoing battle at the table, Amarpreet Dhoot raised from under the gun to 1,200 only to face a three-bet from Mykola Kostyrko in the cutoff to 3,600 and then a four-bet from Matthew Leecy in the small blind to 9,100. Dhoot folded, and Kostyrko called.

The flop came 3♥6♥7♦ and Leecy led out for 3,500. Kostyrko was having none of that and raised to 9,600, and Leecy instantly moved all in, which Kostyrko snap called.

Matthew Leecy: A♣K♦All in
Mykola Kostyrko: A♥Q♥

Leecy's ace high was way ahead of Kostyrko's ace-queen, but he needed to dodge a X♥ or queen to stay alive. The turn didn't produce for Kostyrko when the 5♦ dropped, and when the J♦ bricked out the river, it was Leecy's ace high with king kicker that was left the victor, and he was pushed the pot for a full double up and more.
