Sellam Runs into Kicker Problems
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Samuel Sellam opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Rohat Arikan three-bet to 40,000 from the cutoff. Sellam made the call.
The flop came Q♠Q♣J♥. Sellam checked, Arikan moved all in for 102,000 and Sellam made the call with a covering stack.
Rohat Arikan: A♥K♣
Samuel Sellam: A♠10♦
The rest of the board ran out 9♣7♥. Both players had ace-high to go along with the pair of queens on the board but Arikan had the bigger kicker and secured a massive double up.
