Watson Has the Better Kicker
Nível 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Mike Watson opened from the hijack to 55,000 and was called by big blind Aleksejs Ponakovs.
The flop came 
and Ponakovs checked to Watson, who bet 75,000. Ponakovs called.
Both players checked the 
turn. The river came the 
and Ponakovs checked yet again. Watson checked behind and Ponakovs showed 
for top pair.
Watson, though, turned over 
to win the pot with his jack, ace-kicker.
