Lightbourne Doubles Set Over Set
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Adrian Rivero raised to 25,000 on the button and Iaron Lightbourne reraised to 100,000 in the small blind. Rivero called and went to turn over his cards before the dealer reminded him Lightbourne still had a few chips behind.
The flop came A♥K♥9♥ and Lightbourne put in his last 31,000. Rivero called to put him at risk.
Iaron Lightbourne: 7♣7♥ 
Adrian Rivero: 2♥2♣
Lightbourne was ahead with his sevens as the 7♦ turn improved him to a set. Rivero also hit a set on the 2♠ river, but it wasn't enough to avoid handing over the double up.
"Why waste that," Lightbourne joked with Rivero after the hand.
