No Kicker? No Problem for Brilliet
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Karem Laouini opened to 5,000 from the hijack and received calls from Arthur Brilliet in the small blind and Pierrick Burban in the big blind.
Action checked around to Laouini who bet 6,500 on the A?Q?9? flop. Brilliet made the call while Burban got out of the way.
Both players checked the 4? turn and J? river. Brilliet tabled A?5? for top pair with a weak kicker which was good enough to take the pot.
