Kaimakamis' Kicker Plays

Level 31 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Vangelis Kaimakamis raised to 600,000 from the middle position and Shahar Levi defended his big blind.

They both checked through the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop to the {10-Diamonds} on the turn. Levi check-called the 450,000 bet of Kaimakamis.

The river completed the board with the {5-Hearts} and both players checked through it. Levi tabled {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the turned two pair but Kaimakamis quickly turned around {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the same two pair but with the higher king-kicker to claim the pot.
