Portlen Turns Set but Loses Opponent

Winner of the 2008 Oz Poker Tour Main Event, Eugene Portlen is off to a solid start after turning a set against his opponent.

Portlen had raised preflop to 400 and then followed it up with a bet of 600 on a {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop. One opponent kept him honest with a call, but Portlen spiked a set when the {9-Clubs} fell on the turn. Portlen fired another 1,200, but his opponent got away from the hand allowing Portlen to flash the pocket nines.

Portlen is now up to around 7,000 chips.
