Arieh With a Better Kicker
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Josh Arieh opened to 4,000 from early position. The cutoff called and Kai Yang defended from the big blind.
Arieh continued for 3,500 on Q♠A♠5♥ and Yang was the only one to call. He check-called again after Arieh fired a second barrel to 9,000 on the A♣ turn.
The 5♠ river was checked by both players and Yang revealed Q♣8♣ for two pair. Arieh with Q♦10♠ had a better kicker and won the pot.
