Set-Over-Set Makes Pearson Miss Final Three Tables
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jelle de Kroon raised his button to 100,000. Philip Pearson called in the small blind, and Filip Lovric tossed in a defend in the big blind.
The 5♣2♠9♦ checked to De Kroon, who continued for another 100,000. Pearson then moved all in for about 600,000. Lovric quickly got out of the way, but De Kroon snapped off his opponent.
Philip Pearson: A♣5♦2♦2♣ 
Jelle de Kroon: A♠Q♣5♠5♥
Pearson was down to one out after the K♥ turn, but the final deuce did not appear on the J♠ river. Pearson was eliminated two away from the money, leaving the field on the stone bubble with three tables in play.
