Malinov's Kicker Plays
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Atanas Malinov opened to 27,000 from the button and George Rabahie defended his big blind.
Rabahie check-called for 17,000 on the K?9?3? flop before the 6? turn was checked through to the A? river.
Rabahie led out for 30,000 and Malinov quickly called. Rabahie tabled K?5? for a pair of kings. Malinov also had a pair of kings with his K?8? but his kicker played to scoop the pot.
