Kicker Kicks

07/21/2025/in Event 4: Winners Shown $250 /by Schneids

Level: 20 Blinds: 5000/10000Ante: 1000

Steve Shanks folded UTG, and Adam Zych made it 22,000 on the button. Shide Timmons called in the SB, and Trevor Hills also called in the BB.

A flop of K♠ 9♦ 6♥ warranted no action from our 3 players.

A T♥ on the turn changed that, however. Timmons lead out a handful of orange chips from the small blind, that turned out to be exactly 20,000. Hills mucked, and Zych made the call.

The 6♦ on the river resulted in another round without any wagering, and at showtime, both players showed a ten, but Timmons’ kicker of an ace trumped Zych’s jack kicker.

Shide Timmons: 574,000
Adam Zych: 260,000

Ben Balling Goes Out in 5th Place ($2,500)

Zych Can’t Get Action

Level: 19 Blinds: 4000/8000Ante: 1000

Adam Zych open raised to 20,000 in the CO, and Ben Balling made the call from his BB.

A flop of A♦ 2♠ J♣ went check, check.

Balling again checked the T♥ turn card, and this time Zych bet 23,000. Balling quickly folded, and Zych had to reveal he had flopped aces and twos.

Adam Zych: 380,000
Ben Balling: 200,000

Bill Ronning Out in 7th ($1,226)

07/21/2025/in Event 4: Winners Shown $250 /by Schneids

Level: 18 Blinds: 3000/6000Ante: 1000

Steve Shanks limp UTG, and action folded around to Bill Ronning in the BB, where he moved his last ~ 90,000 all in. Shanks quickly called.

Ronning: A♠ Q♥
Shanks: A♦ A♣

The flop of Q♦ 2♥ 7♣ offered Ronning some hope. A K♣ on the turn was just enough paint to be taunting to Ronning, and the 6♠ river didn’t help him either.

Bill Ronning gets $1,226 for his 7th place finish though, which is fantastic!

Steve Shanks is up to 250,000.

Vic Peppe Busts in 8th Place ($1,034)

07/21/2025/in Event 4: Winners Shown $250 /by Schneids

Vic got all in on a K♥ [Td 8♠ flop with K♠ Q♦ against Shide Timmons, who after a few moments called the all in with K♣ T♠. The turn and river offered no help to Vic, so he leaves us in 8th for $1,034. Well done today Vic, always fighting hard!

Shide Timmons has chipped up to 380,000.
