Engel and Kruk Both Catch a Set

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ari Engel raised to 20,000 from middle position and was called by Christopher Kruk in the small blind and Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and the action checked around to the {4-Spades} on the turn.

Kruk checked again and Thorel led out for 35,000. Engel just flat-called and Kruk check-raised to 155,000. Thorel quickly mucked his hand and Engel shipped all in for 249,000. Kruk couldn't call fast enough and the cards were on their backs.

Engel tabled {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for a set of queens while Kruk turned a set of fours with {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Engel secured himself a full double up through one of the chip leaders.
