A Better Kicker for Rantamaki
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Roope Tarmi opened from the hijack then called after Joni Rantamaki in the cutoff three-bet to 3,500.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♥5♣10♣ and Rantamaki bet 1,700. Tarmi check-called, then both players checked the 4♦ turn.
The A♠ completed the board and Tarmi bet 11,100. It didn't take too long for Rantamaki to call with A♦K♦ and to beat Tarmi's A♥Q♥.
