Lieu Lays Down a Set

An early-position player limped in, the button raised to 5,200, Liz Lieu called from the small blind, Ronnie Lawton called from the big blind, and the EP player folded. The flop was {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts}. The action was checked to the button, who bet 13,000. Both Lieu and Lawton called. The turn was the {3-Hearts}. Lieu checked, Lawton moved all in for 34,000, and the button called all in for 20,000.

"A set any good," wondered Lieu aloud as she pondered her decision.

"Dealer, do not pair the board!" Lieu implored as she mucked her cards.

The button turned up {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} for middle set, while Lawton showed {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for a flush.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Lawton raked in the pot, eliminating the button. Lawton is up to 80,000 and Lieu's excellent fold left her with 50,000 to work with.
