Maimone Has Kicker Problems
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Nick Maimone limped in from the small blind and Haiyang Yang checked the big blind.
Maimone check-called a bet of 400,000 on the 7♠A♥9♦ flop from Yang and saw a 6♥ fall on the turn. The turn was checked through to the 10♠ river and both players checked again.
Maimone tabled 7♦5♣ for a pair of sevens but Yang had J♠7♣ for a pair of sevens with a better kicker.
