Cech Wins Pot With Higher Kicker
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Vitezslav Cech raised from early position, Mercedes Ostri called, Linus Hjulstroem called on the button, and the big blind also came along.
The flop was 9?K?A?. The player in the big blind checked and Cech fired out a continuation bet of 1,900. Ostri called and then Hjulstroem raised to 7,500. Only Cech made the call.
The turn came the 5? and both players checked to the river, which was the 6?. Cech bet out and Hjulstroem called. Hjulstroem had AxJx for a pair of aces with jack kicker. Cech showed A?Q? for top pair with the queen kicker to win the pot.
