Banteamlak Spikes a Set to Bust Two
A player in the big blind was already all in while Yonnas Bantemlak in early position and another opponent on the button went to a flop of 6♦K♠4♥. The button then bet 150,000, Bantemlak moved all in, and his opponent snap-called for 250,000.
Big Blind: 9♣9♥
Button: A♥A♠
Yonnas Bantemlak: 6♥6♠
Bantemlak started off with the third-best pocket pair, but he had spiked a set on the flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 2♦8♣, and Bantemlak scored the double knockout as he moved up to around 900,000.
Dennis Backhaus is also sitting with around 750,000.
