Set-Over-Set Double for Stergiotis

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Karamalikis opened to 17,000 from the hijack and found just one caller in Andrew Stergiotis from the big blind.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop to see the {4-Spades} land on the turn and Stergiotis instantly move all in for 104,500. Just as quickly, Karamalikis made the call to put Stergiotis at risk.

Karamalikis: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Stergiotis: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

With a cooler hand all but ensuring Stergiotis a double, the {8-Clubs} spiked on the river to see the
255,000-chip pot pushed to Stergiotis as Karamalikis slips to 820,000 in chips.

The turn added the {K-Diamonds} to the board and Rafferty fired 26,000. Hansimikali made the call.
