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.
