No Kicker? No Problem for Zimani

Ryan Lashmar

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Nicolas Sievers opened to 1,500 from the cutoff and Michal Zimani defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♥7♣3♦ flop leading to the Q♠ on the turn. Zimani check-called a 1,500 bet from Sievers.

Zimani checked again on the 9♠ river and Sievers bet 6,000. Zimani made the call.

Sievers could only show K♦10♣ for a bluff while Zimani tabled Q♦6♠ for top pair to take the pot.
