Linaras' Kicker Sends Volkhonskiy Out
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Vadim Volkhonskiy shoved from under the gun for 18,000 and the action folded around to Sokratis Linaras in the cutoff, who moved all in for just under 40,000.
Vadim Volkhonskiy: A♣6♥
Sokratis Linaras: A♠7♣
Linaras had his opponent pipped and found a good flop with 10♣2♦K♣ as his hand kept its lead. A 3♠ on the turn did bring a few chop possibilities, but the A♥ river meant Linaras' kicker played, sending Volkhonskiy to the rail.
