The Kicker Counts
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Ivan Luca defended his big blind against a raise by Friedrich Brunsch and the duo checked through the 
turn. On the 
river, Luca bet 5,600 into a pot of what appeared to be around 2,000 and Brunsch gave it some thought before making the call.
Luca was ready to muck and motioned to his opponent to show first, which Brunsch obliged to by flashing 
. The Argentinian showed the 
and indeed mucked with the second card apparently being an eight. "I knew it!" Brunsch triumphed and raked in the pot.
Another notable in today's field is Pavel Binar, the Czech is above starting stack.
