Eriksson Ousts Knutsen Set Over Set

Level 12: 1,000/2,000 (2,000)

Entries: 201/652

Stian Knutsen opened for 4,000 from the small blind. Thomas Eriksson three-bet to 10,000 from the big blind and Knutsen jammed for 109,000. Eriksson made the call to set up a massive pot.

Stian Knutsen: 3 3

Thomas Eriksson: Q Q

The chips would have likely gone into the pot at some point during the hand if they didn’t go in preflop with both players improving to a set on the 5 3 Q flop. Knutsen needed the case three to improve to quads to survive and double up. No miracle came as the 2 turn and 9 river completed the board to eliminate Knutsen.

Thomas Eriksson – 260,000

Stian Knutsen – 0
