A Better Kicker for Margereson
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After Andras Nemeth opened to 4,000 from middle position, Scott Margereson called from the cutoff, as well as Wouter Beltz in the big blind.
On a flop of A?J?4?, Beltz and Nemeth checked to Margereson, who bet 7,500. Beltz called, but Nemeth folded.
The two remaining players checked on the turn 2?. And there was no more action on the river 9? , as they both checked again.
At the same time, they turn over their cards with Beltz having K?10? for a missed straight draw. But Margereson had K?Q? for king-high with the best kicker, so he scooped the pot.
