Strong Hands at Showdown in Checked Pot
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Picking up the action in a three-bet pot on a flop of J♠8♠K♥, action checked to Simon Wiciak, who made it 3,500 from the button. One player vacated the pot and John Kitchen called.
Play slowed down as both players checked back the Q♠ turn, then checked to showdown on the 10♠ river. Kitchen had J♦J♥ for a set of jacks, but Wiciak had A♦6♦ for a rivered straight.
"Still have chips," said Kitchen as Wiciak took the pot.
