Spencer's Kicker Earns the Pot
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Lewis Spencer opened 10,000 under the gun and Leonard Herrmann defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 4♦3♥2♥, and both players checked to see the Q♦ turn. Herrmann led for 22,000 and Lewis called.
The 8♣ completed the board on the river and Herrmann fired 56,000. Lewis thought about it for a few moments while glancing at the clock. He then tossed in the call to see the Q♥10♥ of Hermann and tabled A♠Q♠ to win with a pair of queens, ace-kicker.
