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.
