Lovric Makes an Unwanted Set on the River
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Veselin Karakitukov raised to 75,000 from the button with A♣J♥8♦7♣ and Filip Lovric defended A♥9♠9♣7♦.
Both players checked to the river on a board of 10♣6♠5♠2♦9♦, where Lovric led out for 195,000 with his rivered set.
Karakitukov, though, had hit a straight on the river and raised to 500,000. Lovric called, then mucked when Karakitukov showed him the bad news.
