Huber Forces Charette to Fold a Set

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Duff Charette raised from early position and called a three-bet by Stefan Huber on the button before both cvhecked through a flop of {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. On the {9-Clubs} turn, Charette bet 23,000 and Huber called to head to the {6-Diamonds} on the river.

Charette made it 42,000 to go and Huber moved all in with the superior stack to send his opponent in the think tank. Among the players at the table, Craig Mason walked around the table and said on the rail "I think he has a set of nines and the other guy ten-eight suited." Charette continued to talk through the hand at the table and didn't get any reaction from Huber before eventually folding his {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a set.

Huber showed one of his cards, it was the {10-Clubs}.

Engel Drops a Three-Bet Pot

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player opened for 7,000 first to act and got a call from Beau Palmer in the cutoff before Ari Engel made it 34,000 in the big blind. Palmer took the flop heads up with Engel and the dealer spread {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Engel bet 23,000 and Palmer called. Engel slowed down on the {9-Diamonds} and Palmer bet 47,500. That convinced Engel to give it up.

Abdulnour Busts One

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Joseph Abdulnour faced the check-shove of a new arrival at the table out of the big blind.

Abdulnour called and tabled {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for top pair, while his opponent had a sweat with the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The {Q-Diamonds} turn and {10-Hearts} river run out brought no help for the player at risk and Abdulnour raked in the pot.
