Nedelcu's Kicker Falls Short: Koller Sends Him to the Rail
Narcis Nedelcu got the action rolling with a raise to 2,800 from the button, prompting Ran Koller to respond with a three-bet to 10,500. Nedelcu didn't back down and called.
The flop came down 2?A?6?, and Koller led out with a bet of 6,000. Nedelcu was in no mood to fold and called again.
When the 7? hit the turn, Koller increased his aggression with a bet of 12,500, and once more, Nedelcu called, sticking with the hand.
The river brought the 4?, and Koller went all in, putting Nedelcu's tournament life on the line. Uneasy about how the hand had unfolded, Nedelcu made the call. Koller revealed A?K?, showing top pair with a king kicker, while Nedelcu turned over A?3?, boasting a pair of aces but with a weaker kicker. Unfortunately for him, that meant he was heading to the rail.
