Kashani Crumbles in Brutal Cooler as Sets Collide
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Kitete-Kikumba Johnson opened from under the gun to 1,200 and Arian Kashani called from middle position before Maciej Kwiatkowski three-bet the small blind to 3,000. Johnson folded, and Kashani called.
On the A?7?8? flop, Kwiatkowski checked it over to Kashani, who fired 5,000. Kwiatkowski then raised to 17,000, and Kashani shipped his stack of 45,000 into the middle. Kwiatkowski snap-called.
Arian Kashani: 7?7? 
Maciej Kwiatkowski: A?A?
A brutal cooler for Kashani, whose bottom set was nowhere near good enough against the top set of Kwiatkowski. Only the last seven in the deck could save Kashani, but the 9?8? runout wasn't what he was looking for, and he was eliminated.
