Kolla Flops Top Set to Take Down Monster Pot

Christopher Kolla raised to 2,600 from early position and was called by both the small and big blinds. Action went check-check to Kolla on the {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and he promptly bet 3,800.

The small blind got out of the way while the big check-raised to around 18,000. Kolla, who had the bigger stack, made it 38,000 to go, the big blind four-bet to 76,000, and Kolla moved all in. The big blind shrugged and called off for right around 100,000 total.

Showdown

Kolla{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Big Blind{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

It was a brutal spot for the big blind as he had flopped top two pair only to run it into top set. He needed running cards to stay alive, but the {2-Spades} turn put an end to any hope of that happening. The {4-Spades} was put out on the river for good measure as Kolla was pushed the giant pot.

Unfortunately we didn't get the eliminated player's name, which was understandable as he was fairly upset after the hand.
