Sherif Doubles with Set Over Set

[user92162]

Van Marcus raised to 900 preflop and both Sherif Derias and Zach Gruneberg made the call.

The flop came {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{a-Hearts}

and it was checked around. The turn brought the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and when Grunberg checked, Derias sprung into action, betting 1,700. Grunberg deliberated a moment before announcing he was all in, and at this point Derias almost beat him into the pot with much excitement behind his call.

Grunberg tabled {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

and was dissapointed to see Derias flip {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

for a bigger set. The river {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

offered no help to either player, and Derias doubled through to 17,000. Grunberg now has only 4,500 in front of him.
