Pagano Takes A Huge Hit

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

There was an open to 700 and a call before Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano also called from the button. With a fold from the small blind it was Ihar Soika from the big blind who came out with a big three-bet.

With the other two players folding it was Pagano who called to go to a heads-up flop of {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

Soika check-called a bet of 2,700 from Pagano and the turn card was the {j-Diamonds}.

Another check from the blinds from Soika saw Pagano up the price to 5,000. Soika weighed it up. He had 8,500 behind and soon after he committed all his chips and Pagano quickly called and tabled his {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} set.

The air rushed from his though when he saw Soika had flopped top set with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} and with a blank on the river he took the majority of the Italian��s chips.
