Those Sets Can Be Hard to Spot

Shifting over to Orange #10, Andreas Martens recently pushed all in on the river for 66,000 with the board showing {3-Spades} {J-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds}. Alana Morin tanked, then decided to make the call. She never got to show her hand, however, choosing instead to muck when Martens showed {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} for a set of fives. That pot doubled Martens to 330,000 and dropped Morin to 140,000.
