Massey Folds Set on River

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Aaron Massey raised to 5,400 from early position and action folded around to the player in the big blind. He called to see a flop.

The dealer produced {2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and action checked to the raiser. Massey continued out for 5,200 and his opponent came along for another street. The {5-Diamonds} dropped down on the turn and action checked to Massey for a second time. He fired 10,500 and his opponent check-called once more.

The river was the {A-Clubs} and Massey's opponent sat still for a moment. After a bit, he reached for chips and dropped 30,000 past the betting line, sending Massey into the tank. Right around three minutes passed while the 2012 River Poker Series Main Event champion pondered his action. Ultimately, he opted to fold his hand, showing {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a flopped set of deuces. Massey's opponent did not show his hand.

Cloutier Takes a Hit

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We found TJ Cloutier and an opponent looking down at a completed board of {7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}. With about 20,000 already in the middle, Cloutier fired out a bet of 9,000. His opponent thought for quite some time before tossing out a call. Cloutier rolled over {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

"Two nines?" Cloutier asked his opponent.

He did in fact have two nines, tabling the winning {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

"I knew it," said Cloutier, shaking his head as the pot was pushed to the opposite end of the table. With this hit he's down to about 48,000.
