Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After David Dibernardi raised to 1,200 in early position and got called by Timothy Miles in the hijack, Steven Rash three-bet to 4,600 in the big blind.

Dibernardi called, but then Miles moved all in for about 22,500, Rash moved in over top for just under 50,000, and Dibernardi folded what he said were queens.

The hands were revealed and if Dibernardi's claim was true, Rash wouldn't be making a set in this hand.
