Tsoukernik Turns a Set
Level 21
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alex Foxen A♣8♥ opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Salih Atac 9♣9♠ called from the cutoff. Leon Tsoukernik 6♠6♥ and Alessandro Pichierri J♦10♥ called from the blinds.
Atac's nines remained best following the 7♦3♦2♥ flop, and he called when Foxen continued for 225,000. Tsoukernik also stuck around ahead of Pichierri folding.
The 6♣ turn saw Tsoukernik take the lead with a set of sixes. He checked and Foxen followed suit to put the action on Atac. The latter fired out 575,000, and then Tsoukernik jammed. Foxen folded and Atac had a decision for his tournament life. The Swiss player had 2,900,000 behind and he managed to find the fold with his overpair.
