Kozieja's Kicker Plays
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Grzegorz Kozieja raised to 45,000 from middle position with Samuel Ju calling from the cutoff, Timur Mukhamedaminov calling out of the small blind, and the big blind also making the call.
Four-ways to a flop of A♣A♠7♥ where the action checked to Kozieja. He bet 4,000, which got a fold from Ju, but a check-raise to 11,000 by Mukhamedaminov. Only Kozieja called.
The 8♥ turn saw Mukhamedaminov put out a bet of 16,000. Kozieja just called.
The Q♦ landed on the river and Mukhamedaminov shoved for his last 20,000. Kozieja quickly called and was shown A♦4♦ by Mukhamedaminov for trip aces. Kozieja also had trip aces with A♥9♥, but his kicker played, and Mukhamedaminov was out of the event.
