Agopian Turns a Set to Crack Kings
Action was picked up with three players in the hand, on a board showing 7♣5♣3♠ and roughly 11,000 in the pot.
Derek Gregory checked from the small blind, when a player in middle position bet all in for 8,000. Steve Agopian in the hijack then raised all in as well for his stack of 21,000. Gregory then sat in the tank contemplating his decision, but elected to fold and leave the players heads up.
All in Player: K♦K♣
Steve Agopian: 9♥9♦
The all in player had the bigger over and in a great spot to double up, that was until the 9♣ hit the turn to give Agopian a set of nines. The all in player could hit a king and also picked up a flush draw to stay in the tournament. But the river was the 7♠ to give Agopian the pot with his full house, nines full of sevens and eliminate a player.
