Easy Come, Easy Go

Chun Jung Hee doubled up early. He was probably glad for that early double-up after he found himself in a set-over-set situation that cut his stack in half back to the starting 10,000 chips. He raised preflop to 150 from late position, then called a raise to 550 from Andrew Schweinsberg in the small blind. The flop was all spades, {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} {8-Spades}. A raising war ensued, with both players quickly all in. Hee had pocket eights for a set of eights, but Schweinsberg had pocket queens for a set of queens. Hee couldn't find the case eight on the turn or river and wound up shipping 10,000 chips -- the 10,000 he previously won with a flopped set -- to Schweinsberg.
