Set Over Set, Schneiders Doubles Up
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Felix Schneiders started the hand with a raise to 2,400 from under the gun, and Taago Tamm called from the cutoff.
On the 5?4?K? flop, Schneiders opted to check, allowing Tamm to bet 2,500, which Schneiders called.
The Q? turn brought another check from Schneiders, but Tamm responded with a much larger bet of 14,500. Schneiders took his time, contemplating his next move, before deciding to shove all in, only to be snap-called by Tamm. Tamm revealed 5?5? for a set of fives, but Schneiders had Q?Q? for a set of queens, comfortably ahead.
Tamm needed just one miracle card to stay alive, but the 2? river didn't deliver. Schneiders doubled up, boosting his stack while Tamm was left shaking his head in disbelief at how things unfolded.
