Kuether's Top Pair is No Match Against Stephens' Set

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Joseph Kuether
Joseph Kuether

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 59J 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 KJ, but Stephens check-jammed, putting Kuether all in for his remaining 540,000. Kuether made the call.

Joseph Kuether: AJ All in
Kent Stephens: 55

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.
