Kicker Problems for Gokhan Tanju

Aug 22, 2018

On a board of Diamond ASpade KClub KHeart 2 with 5,500 in the middle, Gokhan Tanju bets out 1,000 from early position.

TJ Shepherd calls in the hijack, as does the player on the button.

The river is the repeat Diamond 2 and Tanju tosses in another 1,000-denomination chip. Shepherd folds, but the button calls.

Tanju tables his Club ASpade J for aces-up, but it would be the button’s Heart ASpade Q for the same aces-up but a superior kicker that would entitle him to scooping the pot.

Gokhan Tanju – 15,800
TJ Shepherd – 8,600
