Malinov's Kicker Plays
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Atanas Malinov opened to 27,000 from the button and George Rabahie defended his big blind.
Rabahie check-called for 17,000 on the K♠9♥3♥ flop before the 6♣ turn was checked through to the A♣ river.
Rabahie led out for 30,000 and Malinov quickly called. Rabahie tabled K♦5♦ for a pair of kings. Malinov also had a pair of kings with his K♣8♦ but his kicker played to scoop the pot.
