Cherry Hits a Set as Promised
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In three-way action to the 9♥3♣2♠ flop, Thomas Bedford checked and so did Norman Cherry. Timothy Du Plessiers also checked and they did so again on the J♦ turn. After the 6♥ river, Shannon Elizabeth and another player joked that someone must have hit a set.
Bedford checked and Cherry now finally bet 20,000.
"I hit a set, don't waste your money," he joked while Du Plessiers was to act. The reluctant fold by Du Plessiers followed and Bedford also let go. Cherry indeed showed his cards, the 9♠9♦ for a slow-played set of nines.
One hand later, Elizabeth raise-folded the A♣ to a shove by Bedford, who showed his A♠.
