Greenblatt Flops a Set and Earns a Knockout
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Anthony Marquez raised to 5,500 from the hijack, and the button player shoved all in for 21,000. Alex Greenblatt was sitting in the small blind, and he also shoved for around 55,000, which forced Marquez out of the pot.
Button: K♦Q♣
Alex Greenblatt: 9♥9♣
It was all but over on the 8♥9♦3♦ flop as Greenblatt improved to top set and left his opponent needing two running cards to survive. No help arrived on the 7♣6♦ runout, which meant Greenblatt was pushed the pot, and he scored the knockout.
