Kapeller’s King-Kicker Takes Down Ruggeri
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Umberto Ruggeri raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and Siegfried Kapeller called from the big blind.
The flop came A♥2♣A♣, and Kapeller check-called Ruggeri’s 75,000 bet.
After the A♦ turn, Kapeller checked once more and Ruggeri continued with a 50,000 bet. Kapeller called again.
Both players checked the 6♥ river. Kapeller revealed K♥J♥ for trips with a king-kicker, which edged out Ruggeri, securing the pot for Kapeller.
