Neugebauer Smacks the Flop to Double
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Gerald Karlic raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and Catalin Pop and Max Neugebauer called in the blinds.
The flop came Q♠J♠10♥ and Karlic continued for 55,000. Pop folded, but Neugebauer moved all in for 165,000. Karlic snap-called.
Max Neugebauer: 9♣8♦ 
Gerald Karlic: Q♣Q♦
Karlic had flopped top set, but Neugebauer had a straight. "That's funny," Karlic said. He needed to fill up to earn the knockout, but Neugebauer held on through the 5♠ turn and K♥ river to double up.
