Insua's Kicker Earns the Pot
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Angel Insua opened 1,600 in the cutoff and he received calls from Georgi Sandev on the button, Yi Lin in the small blind and Zaki Hamani in the big blind.
All four players checked to the 10?9?7?A? turn, where the action checked to Insua, who dropped 2,700 across the line. Only Lin made the call.
When the 10? landed on the river, Lin checked and Insua took about 10 seconds before deciding to do the same. Lin tabled A?8? for two pair, and Insua rolled A?K? for his king-kicker to drag the pot.
