Kicker Problems for Mustafov
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Azamat Tulepbergenov opened to 4,000 from middle position, Fahredin Mustafov three-bet to 12,500 from the cutoff, Elie Farah called from the small bind and Tulepbergenov called.
All three players checked the flop and turn leading to a final runout of Q♦J♥2♣K♦7♣. Action then checked around to Mustafov who bet 30,000. Farah folded while Tulepbergenov made the call.
Mustafov had top pair with K♥8♥ but Tulepbergenov had him beat with K♣10♥ for top pair with a better kicker to take the pot.
