Kuether's Top Pair is No Match Against Stephens' Set
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Kent Stephens raised to 80,000 from early position with Joseph Kuether calling on the button and Paul Volpe coming along from the big blind.
The 5♠9♥J♦ flop checked to Kuether, and he bet 140,000. Volpe called, and Stephens also came along.
The action checked to Kuether again on the 4♥ turn, and he fired 245,000. Volpe folded K♦J♣, but Stephens check-jammed, putting Kuether all in for his remaining 540,000. Kuether made the call.
Joseph Kuether: A♥J♥
Kent Stephens: 5♥5♣
Stephens was ahead with a set of fives against the top pair and flush draw of Kuether.
The dealer burned a card and put out the Q♣ river, and all of Kuether's chips were absorbed into Stephens' stack.
