Pertea's Two Pair No Good Against Shalamov's Set

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Marius-Catalin Pertea
Marius-Catalin Pertea

With around 15,000 chips in the middle on a board of 3108, Mikhail Shalamov and Iurii Okolovich checked it over to Marius-Catalin Pertea, who fired 5,700. Shalamov then put in a raise to 13,200, which got a quick fold out of Okolovich, but Pertea called.

A 7 dropped on the turn and Shalamov immediately shoved, which gave Pertea a decision for his remaining stack of around 20,000. After thinking it over for a while, Pertea decided to put himself at risk, and called.

Marius-Catalin Pertea: 107 All in
Mikhail Shalamov: 88

Pertea had turned two pair but was trailing to the flopped set of Shalamov, who only needed to fade a ten on the river to scoop the pot. Pertea was hoping to hit that two-outer, but it never came as the 9 filled out the board, which meant he was eliminated.
