Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Cosmin Joldis raised to 225,000 in late position and was called by Marcel Luske in the cutoff and Karen Sarkisyan on the button. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and it checked around. On the {2-Hearts} turn, Joldis and Luske checked, and Sarkisyan bet 450,000.

After a long pause, Joldis check-raised to 1,250,000. Luske got out of the way and Sarkisyan thought for a little while and then called.

The river was the {7-Hearts}. After several seconds, Joldis moved all in with Sarkisyan covered. Sarkisyan called rather quickly and the cards were on their backs.

Joldis: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Sarkisyan: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Joldis was good with his pair of tens until the seven on the river gave Sarkisyan a set. Sarkisyan's stack was counted at 4,235,000 and Joldis matched it. The hand put Sarkisyan up close to 12 million chips and left Joldis with around 16 big blinds.
