Di Nicola's Better Kicker Secures the Pot
Nível 28
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With no action preflop, Ermanno Di Nicola decided to check-raise Dohang Na's 65,000 bet, bumping it up to 170,000. Na wasn’t backing down, though, and responded with a three-bet to 450,000, which Di Nicola called.
On the A♥ turn, Di Nicola checked again, and Na kept the pressure on with a 600,000 bet. After some thought, Di Nicola made the call.
Both players checked the river, bringing them to a showdown. Na revealed 9♦5♠ for a pair of nines, but Di Nicola flipped over J♥9♣, also showing a pair of nines but with a stronger kicker. That was enough for Di Nicola to scoop the pot.
