Cucina Flops a Set to Knockout Cashen
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action folded to Andrew Cucina in the hijack, and he raised to 2,000, before Harry Korotki three-bet to 5,100 from the cutoff. Once it folded to the small blind Joseph Cashen, he four-bet all in for 14,900. Cucina made the call, and Korotki folded to leave the two players heads up, with Cashen at risk.
Joseph Cashen: A♠K♠ 
Andrew Cucina: Q♠Q♣
It was a race for Cashen's tournament life, but once the board ran out J♥3♠Q♦ Cucina flopped a set, and Cashen would need a 10 to improve to a Broadway straight to beat the set of Cucina. But after the K♥ on the turn, and 7♦ on the river, Cucina's set of queens were still best, and Cashen was eliminated.
