Perret's Kicker is Good to Take Half of Mavritsakis' Stack
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Panagiotis Mavritsakis opened 240,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Michael Perret in the small blind as he went into the tank for about two minutes before making the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of K?10?4? and Perret snap-jammed his 1,105,000 in the middle. After asking for a count, Mavritsakis made the call.
Michael Perret: A?K? 
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: K?J?
Both players flopped top pair but Perret's ace-kicker was good as the board completed with the 10? turn and the Q? river.
