Song Has Kicker Problems
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
On a board of 8♥6♣7♣J♥, Kyle Mart got all in for around 900,000 from the big blind, and Daewoong Song was looking to send him to the rail from the button.
Kyle Mart: K♥J♣
Daewoong Song: Q♣J♦
Both players had turned top pair, but Mart's superior kicker had him poised to double up.
Song needed a queen on the river to send Mart home, but the 3♦ was no help, and Mart dragged in the pot worth more than three million.
