Kramer Triples Thanks to Runner-Runner
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mathias Muehlebach raised to 75,000 under the gun before Kilian Kramer three-bet to 115,000 on the button with just 5,000 behind. Daniele Lunario made it a three-way from the big blind and the dealer fanned out the 4♥K♣3♣ flop.
Lunario led out for 80,000, which got Muehlebach to fold. Kramer called for his last chip to put himself at risk.
Kilian Kramer: A♠9♦ 
Daniele Lunario: 4♦3♦
Lunario was far ahead with bottom two pair, and only running cards would save Kramer.
A 9♠ on the turn gave Kramer a pair and a glimmer of hope. The K♠ on the river counterfeited Lunario's two pair, and Kramer tripled up with a higher two pair.
