Drez Sets Over Set
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 7
: 400/800, 75 ante
Andrew Drez Michael has just let us know about quite a large pot he recently took down.
Apparently it started when Michael opened to 1,800 from under the gun. One opponent three-bet to 4,000 and Michael made the call.
On the 
flop, Michael led for 6,000 and his opponent called.
The turn was a “brick” and Michael check-called a bet of 6,000.
The river was a 
and Michael moved all in.
Michael’s opponent snap called with for a flopped set of queens, but Michael had for a rivered set of queens.
Michael is up to around 80,000.

Reza Calls Himself a Donk
Level 7
: 400/800, 75 ante
We’ve just witnessed a remarkable double up by Reza Vakili that has left Katie Sekhas, and everyone at the table, shaking their
heads.
With the flop reading 
Vakili decided his best move was to open-jam for a total of 23,650. Sekhas moved all in over the top to force a third player to a huge decision. The player folded what he later said was pocket threes as Vakili was in a world of hurt with 
against Sekhas’ 
.
However the poker Gods were up to some mischief as the 
turn and 
river completed the board to give Vakili a bigger full house to take the pot!
“Oh my God! I’m such a donk!” cried Vakili who was on his feet with hands on his head while the dealer pushed him the pot with around 80,000. Meanwhile Sekhas is still in good shape with 55,000 but was very unlucky not to be one of the clear chip leaders.

Interesting Pot to Cohen
Level 7
: 400/800, 75 ante
Justin Cohen has recently taken down an interesting pot to see his stack move towards six figures.
We arrived at the action on the turn of a 
board with well over 10,000 already in the middle. Cohen’s lone opponent led for 2,000 and Cohen quickly inspected the player’s stack. It looked like the player had around 15,000 behind and Cohen bet 13,000. The player called and it was revealed that he left himself with just 1,500 behind.
The river was a and this time the player check-folded when Cohen put him all in.

Neilson Moving Up the Leader Board
Level 6
: 300/600, 50 ante
Daniel Neilson didn’t really get anything going early on Day 1b of the ANZPT Sydney Main Event, but has now started to build a stack as he head towards the later stages of the day.
We recently arrived to find Neilson involved in a pot against two opponents on a 
flop. It was checked to Neilson, who bet 3,000. Chip leader Marcel Naboulsi and the one other opponent both called and a 
hit the turn. This time one player checked and Naboulsi bet 4,000. Neilson was next to act and raised it up to 11,000. No player wanted to rumble and so the pot went to Neilson.

Queens Will Do for Healy
Level 6
: 300/600, 50 ante
Patrick Healy has just taken down a handy pot. It started when a player in middle position opened it up to 1,600. Healy was the lone caller from the big blind and with that, the dealer flipped over a 
flop. Both players checked and a 
was dealt on the turn. This time Healy led for 2,200 and a call would see the board completed with a 
. Healy opted to check here and his opponent bet 4,200. Healy called and his opponent tabled 
for just ace-high. Healy turned over 
and picked up the chips to move to just under 40,000.
