A Better Kicker for Kudzmanas
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
In a limped pot, Marius Kudzmanas in the big blind and Akihiro Konishi on the button both checked the 6♣8♠K♥ flop.
After Kudzmanas checked the 10♥ turn, Konishi bet 2,400,000 but Kudzmanas didn't back down and called.
The 9♣ river didn't bring more action and Kudzmanas flipped over Q♣9♦ for a pair. Konishi had the same pair with 9♠4♣, but his kicker wasn't good enough.
