Setti Knocks Out Lafata In a Massive Pot

Liam Gannon

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mo Nuwwarah raised to 2,700 in middle position which saw a player in late position call, Mark Lafata call on the button and in the small blind, Bhaskar Setti called.

The flop came out Q?J?8? and action checked around to the late position player who bet 3,000. Lafata raised to 10,500 while Setti three bet to 20,500. Nuwwarah rechecked his hole cards before tossing them into the muck and the player in late position followed suit. Lafata moved all in for 59,000 total and Setti winced.

"If you have ace-king you can make a better straight," he said muttering to himself as he contemplated the decision. A few more seconds went by before he said "ok I call."

Mark Lafata: K?10?
Bhaskar Setti: 10?9?

The board ran out Q?K? and the flopped straight held up for Setti to take down a massive pot while Lafata exited the tournament.
