Top Two Pair Falls to a Better Kicker
Nivel 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With approximately 9,000 already in the pot and the board displaying J♣9♠2♣J♦, Stefan Schoss took the initiative and made a bet of 2,400. Nikolay Traskevich thought it over for a moment before deciding to call.
When the Q♦ hit the river, both players checked, and the hand moved to showdown. Schoss revealed K♠Q♠, showing top two pair with king as the kicker. However, Traskevich wasn't far behind, revealing Q♥10♥ for his own top two pair, but with a ten as his kicker.
In the end, Schoss's higher kicker secured him the pot, adding a nice boost to his chip stack.
