Forster Drills a Set to Crack Sakakini's Bullets

After a bit of a raising war between Mark Forster on the button and Steve Sakakini in the big blind, Sakakini's stack of around 700,000 ended up in the middle with Forster trying to win them all.

Steve Sakakini: A♦A♥ All in
Mark Forster: K♥K♣

It was poker's classic cooler, which Forster was on the wrong end of — preflop.

The 7♠K♦8♣ flop gave Forster a set, cracking Sakakini's aces and leaving him with two outs.

Sakakini was unable to find one of the two remaining aces in the deck on the J♥ turn or 9♦ river, and he became the next Super Seniors casualty.
