Battle of the Blinds

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were roughly 13,000 chips in the pot on K♦K♣7♣.

Ramon Valdez in the small blind bet 5,000, and Matthew Ahern in the big blind called. Valdez fired out another bet on the 2♦ turn for 8,000, and Ahern called again.

Both players decided to check on the 4♠ river. Valdez tabled A♣8♦, but Ahern's kicker played as he tabled A♠J♦ and took the pot.
