Kadur Spikes a Set to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Pei Li opened to 24,000 from early position before Jake Schwartz moved all in for around 190,000 from middle position. Action folded to Ran Kadur in the small blind, who called off his remaining 93,000. Li quickly got out of the way, leaving the two players to battle it out.
Ran Kadur: 9♣9♦
Jake Schwartz: Q♠Q♥
Kadur was behind at the start, but the 4♠K♦9♥ flop gave him a set of nines and put him firmly in front. Schwartz needed help on the remaining streets, but neither the J♣ turn nor the 4♣ river changed anything.
Kadur secured the double-up and was back in the game, while Schwartz was left counting a much smaller stack.
