Lewis Has Kicker Problems, Arapi Chips Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jean-Emmanuel Lhuillier opened to 2,500 from early position and Dritan Arapi called in the hijack. Andrew Lewis also called from the button.
They went to a flop of 4?6?J? which checked through to the A? turn. Lhuillier checked, and Arapi fired 3,400. Lewis called, and Lhuillier folded.
On the 6? river, Arapi checked it over to Lewis, who stuck out a bet of 8,000. Arapi didn't need to think for too long before he tossed in a chip to signify a call.
Lewis then confidently flipped A?5? for a pair of aces, but Arapi showed A?Q? for a pair of aces with a better kicker to scoop the pot.
