who wins?

Hi all,
who wins in the next situation?
the river is: spades Ace, Q, 2 , clubs J and hearts K
I have spades K and diamonds 4
the other player has clubs K and diamonds 5
Does the sidekick counts and is the other player the winner, or do we play equal and do we split the chips?

Thanks for helping me,
greets,
Tarz

You both have a pair of kings but he has a higher kicker "5" so he wins. One exception would be:

Board : A,J,10,8,K

You : K,4

Opponent : K,5

Now the kicker doesn't come into play because the board cards are all higher. This would be a split pot.

Hope that makes sense.
