Tungel's Pair is Bigger than Banic's
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Lars Tungel made it 12,000 from early position and then called the 56,000 shove of Ivan Banic, who was seated on the button.
Ivan Banic: 8♠8♣ 
Lars Tungel: 10♥10♣
Tungel had the higher pair heading to the A♠10♦7♥ flop that gave him a set, and meant Banic needed running cards to survive. Banic was drawing dead once the 3♦ fell on the turn. The J♠ completed the board and Banic headed to the rail, while Tungel was up to around 750,000.
