Stevens Secures Double Knockout

Patrick Cole

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marius Gierse moved all in from under the gun for 60,000. Vlad Martynenko moved all in for 150,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Bert Stevens in the small blind who made the call as the covering stack.

Marius Gierse: A?K? All in
Vlad Martynenko: A?10? All in
Bert Stevens: 5?5?

There was an ace in the window but Stevens hit a set on the Q?A?5? flop. The K? turn presented outs to both Gierse and Martynenko in the form of a full house or a straight. However Stevens' set held on the 7? river to secure him a big pot and two bounties.
