Lewis Has Kicker Problems, Arapi Chips Up
Niveau 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jean-Emmanuel Lhuillier opened to 2,500 from early position and Dritan Arapi called in the hijack. Andrew Lewis also called from the button.
They went to a flop of 4♥6♦J♦ which checked through to the A♠ turn. Lhuillier checked, and Arapi fired 3,400. Lewis called, and Lhuillier folded.
On the 6♠ river, Arapi checked it over to Lewis, who stuck out a bet of 8,000. Arapi didn't need to think for too long before he tossed in a chip to signify a call.
Lewis then confidently flipped A♥5♥ for a pair of aces, but Arapi showed A♣Q♣ for a pair of aces with a better kicker to scoop the pot.
