Set Over Set Gives Paunescu a Double Knockout
Level 2
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Daniel Maynard, Qing Feng Zheng, and Stefan Paunescu each put in 2,000 before the flop as they went three-handed to see 2?7?4?.
Maynard led out for 5,000 from the small blind and Zheng called under the gun. Paunescu also called in the cutoff and the 8? fell on the turn.
Maynard then moved all in for 21,000, Zheng shoved for his last 25,000, and Paunescu snap-called. Maynard had 9?9? for an overpaid, but he was far behind as Zheng showed 4?4? for a set of fours and Paunescu turned over 7?7? for a set of sevens.
"That's brutal," Zheng said as the 8? fell on the river to send both him and Maynard to the rail.
"I have to take a picture of that," Maynard said before joining Zheng on the walk to the exit.
