Tsoukernik Turns a Set
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alex Foxen A?8? opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Salih Atac 9?9? called from the cutoff. Leon Tsoukernik 6?6? and Alessandro Pichierri J?10? called from the blinds.
Atac's nines remained best following the 7?3?2? flop, and he called when Foxen continued for 225,000. Tsoukernik also stuck around ahead of Pichierri folding.
The 6? turn saw Tsoukernik take the lead with a set of sixes. He checked and Foxen followed suit to put the action on Atac. The latter fired out 575,000, and then Tsoukernik jammed. Foxen folded and Atac had a decision for his tournament life. The Swiss player had 2,900,000 behind and he managed to find the fold with his overpair.
