Kim's Kicker Plays
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Charles Russell raised from middle position to 240,000 and Brian Kim called from the cutoff. Guillermo Sanchez Otero also called from the big blind.
All three players checked to the river on the 7♦7♣2♠6♣Q♠ board where Russell bet 400,000. Kim made the call, and Otero folded.
Russell tabled Q♦J♠ for a rivered pair of queens, but Kim had A♦Q♥ for a pair of queens with an ace-kicker, which earned him the pot.
