Rawlinson Shows the Better Kicker

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Action was heads up on a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} with around 7,000 in the middle. Ken Rawlinson was on the button and saw his opponent in the hijack check to him. He bet 4,300 and received a call.

Both players then checked down the turn {8-Hearts} and river {j-Clubs} and the hand went to showdown.

The hijack showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a missed straight draw and Rawlinson tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, winning the pot with his queen kicker. Moments later, he also took down a small pot from Sean Yu to bring his stack to its current total.
