Set Over Set Sees Staudacher Sent Home
Level 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.
