Casalnuovo Cracks Top Set to Double
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With two players seeing a board reading 7♥9♥K♣J♣ and about 12,500 in the middle, Domenico Casalnuovo checked from the big blind and Yi Ang Lin bet 14,200 from the cutoff. Casalnuovo shoved for 14,200 and Lin called with a covering stack to put Casalnuovo at risk.
Domenico Casalnuovo: 10♣8♣ 
Yi Ang Lin: K♦K♥
Lin had flopped the nuts with top set only for Casalnuovo to pull ahead on the turn with the second-nut straight. The board did not pair on the 3♣ turn after which Casalnuovo dragged in a full double up at Lin's expense.
