Level 5 : 300/600, 50 ante

Chad Awerbuch lost more than half of his stack before the break and was kind enough to relay what had happened:

On his previous table, the player in the early position raised to 900. Awerbuch three-bet to 2,400 on the button with {k-}{k-} and the small blind called. The initial raiser folded.

The flop came {a-}{k-}{9-} for Awerbuch to hit a set. The small blind check-called the 2,200 continuation-bet of Awerbuch.

The turn was a {6-}, the small blind check-shoved for 28,200 when Awerbuch continued with a bet of 6,900 and Awerbuch called to see he was up against the {a-}{k-} of his opponent who had flopped top two pair.

The river was the {a-} for them both to improve to a full house but for his opponent to have the better one to double up through Awerbuch.
