Liperis' Set Goes Down to Savenkov's Straight
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexey Savenkov made it 2,400 on the button, and Yiannis Liperis three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Savenkov called.
Liperis continued on the Q♠6♦7♣ flop with a bet of 8,000. Once again, Savenkov called.
A 9♥ hit the turn, and Liperis fired again, this time for 27,000. Savenkov pondered for a few moments before jamming for Liperis' remaining 60,000. Liperis glanced back at his cards and quickly called.
Yiannis Liperis: Q♥Q♣ 
Alexey Savenkov: 8♠5♠
Liperis' top set was behind to the turn straight of Savenkov. Liperis was looking for a board-pairing river to stay alive, but the K♠ river wasn't it, and all of his chips were sent over to Savenkov.
