Set Over Set Sees Staudacher Sent Home
Nível 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Middle position started the action, making it 10,000. Maxim Staudacher in the cutoff then shoved for 73,000. After some deliberation, Nemanja Lukovic re-shoved in the big blind. Middle position tanked for a short while before folding and we went heads up to the flop with the German's tournament life at risk.
Maxim Staudacher: 9♣9♦
Nemanja Lukovic: K♣K♠
The table gave out a collective gasp as the 8♥K♥9♥ flop landed, giving both players a set.
Staudacher was still way behind as the 5♠ came on the turn, needing the remaining nine to come.
It didn't, and the 2♣ river condemned Staudacher to the rail, while Lukovic chipped up close to average stack.
