Kacprzak Out-Kicks Drusca
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Marcin Kacprzak looked as though he intended to raise, but ended up calling from under the gun. Mircea Flutur limped behind from the cutoff and Stefan Drusca called from the small blind. (Rachid El Yaacoubi was absent for his big blind.)
The flop came J♦7♣A♣ and Drusca checked to Kacprzak, who bet 18,000. Flutur folded, but Drusca called.
Drusca check-called a 60,000 bet from Kacprzak on the 4♠ turn and then both players checked down on the 10♣ river.
Drusca turned over Ax5x, but quickly mucked when Kacprzak turned over A♠10♥ for a pair of aces with a higher kicker, which was good for the pot.
