Set of Kings No Good For Pavaluca
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Three-handed on a flop of 9?6?8?, Dragos Pavaluca bet 3,000 from the cutoff before Nicolae Balea raised to 9,000 on the button. Roman Stoica called in middle position, as did Pavaluca.
The turn came the K? and Pavaluca bet another 3,000. Balea then raised to 10,000 and both opponents again called.
Action checked to Balea on the 10? river and he bet 15,000. Stoica gave it some thought before mucking, but Pavaluca quickly called.
Pavaluca showed K?K? for a turned set of kings, but Balea had 7?7? for a rivered straight to win the big pot.
