Liparulo Hits Set to Double Up
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Matteo Liparulo raised to 500 from late position and Tim Gucher reraised to 1,700. Liparulo called. The flop came 8♥A♥J♦. Liparulo checked and Gucher bet 1,500, which Liparulo called.
The turn was the 2♦. Liparulo checked again and Gucher bet 4,000. Liparulo responded with a check-raise all in for 13,700. Gucher quickly tossed a chip in the middle to signify a call. Players flipped their cards, with Liparulo at risk.
Matteo Liparulo: 8♣8♦
Tim Gucher: A♣K♣
Gucher had a pair of aces with king kicker. Liparulo, however, had flopped a set of eights. The river came the Q♥ and Liparulo won the pot to double up his stack early on. He had lost some chips in the previous hands and so pulled it back to above a starting stack.
