Early Sickness

Scott Lazar raised to 300 from middle position before a player in the cutoff reraised to 800. Gary Germann called from the button, as did Lazar before the flop came {2-?} {4-?} {7-?}.

It was checked to the cutoff player, who bet 2,200. Germann called before Lazar raised it up 5,000. Both opponents called. The turn came {A-?}, prompting Lazar to bet 8,000 and the only player still interested was Germann, who moved all in. Lazar snap-called with {2-?} {2-?} for a flopped set. He was very unlucky, though, as Germann had {A-?} {A-?} for a turned bigger set.

The river came blank, meaning Germann scooped a big pot for this stage. Lazar is down to just 1,050 and looks over at Germann's 44,000 stack, thinking of what might have been.
