Peixoto's Kicker Plays to Eliminate Wilklow
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With around 420,000 already in the pot and the flop showing 10♠3♦K♦, Michael Wilklow checked to Carlos Pombal Peixoto, who put out a bet. Wilklow responded by moving all in for around 715,000, and Peixoto quickly called.
Michael Wilklow: K♥8♥
Carlos Pombal Peixoto: K♠Q♦
Wilklow was already behind and needed help, but the K♣ turn improved both players to trips kings. That left the kicker in play, with Peixoto's queen remaining ahead of Wilklow's eight.
The 2♦ river changed nothing, and Peixoto's better kicker earned him the pot while Wilklow was sent to the rail.
