Bermon Has Set of Kings Cracked on the River
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Danilo Velasevic 9♦8♦ raised to 200,000 from early position. Alexandre Bermon flat-called K♥K♣ from the hijack. Marius Kudzmanas J♥J♣ three-bet to 530,000 from the cutoff with Viacheslav Sultanov A♦Q♥ then four-betting to 860,000 from the button.
Velasevic folded before Bermon jammed for 2,200,000, which allowed Kudzmanas to fold his jacks. Sultanov called for the cards to go on thier backs.
Sultanov had outs to Broadway on the K♦10♦3♠ flop, but Bemron's set remained best, and was still ahead after the 8♠ turn. However, the J♦ river gave Sultanov his straight to down Bermon's cowboys.
