Lodge's Kicker Plays
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Govert Metaal raised to 80,000 from early position and Harry Lodge called in the hijack. Boris Kuzmanovic also called from the big blind.
They saw a flop of 10♣3♣2♠ which was checked to Lodge, who then bet 90,000. Kuzmanovic folded, and Metaal called.
A K♦ revealed itself on the turn which Metaal checked again, then Lodge fired a bet of 175,000. Metaal called again.
The 3♥ river paired the board and again Metaal checked, then Lodge made a bet of 375,000. Metaal didn't need to think for too long before he tossed in the call.
Lodge showed K♠J♠ for a pair of kings, then Metaal tabled K♣8♣ and lost the pot as Lodge had a better kicker.
