Sneaky Set Strikes Again

Shamus

A player in middle position raised to 600, and David Pontier called behind him. The flop came {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

. The preflop raiser bet 1,500, Pontier raised to 3,500, and the initial raiser pushed all in for 7,500 more.

Pontier thought a bit, then finally made the call. "I have a set," he said showing {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

. His opponent was in bad shape with {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

.

The turn {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

and river

{4-Clubs}

didn't change things, and Pontier had eliminated his opponent.

Pontier took another small one off of Kevin O'Donnell shortly afterwards. He's now up to 37,000. O'Donnell is at 18,500.
