David Out-Kicks Rassmann

With three players seeing a board of 6♦ 5♥ T♥ Q♦ A♦ and 20,100 in the middle Tim Rassmann checked from the big blind and Kimura Yasuaki checked from early position. Rene Mar David bet 8,000 from the hijack and only Rassmann called.
Rassmann had rivered top pair with A♣ J♥ but David had the superior kicker with A♥ K♥ to win the pot.
