One player limped in for 2,400 and Ryan Feldman woke up with {A-Hearts}{a-Spades} in the hole. He popped the action up to 6,100 and the limper came along for the ride.

Flop: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Feldman flopped top set with his pocket rockets and quietly tapped the table, hoping to bait his man into making a major blunder. The ploy worked to perfection as the preflop limper suddenly jammed his stack forward for an ill-timed bluff.

Feldman snapped it off with the nuts and when his opponent could only muster {3-}{3-} in response, the hand was over. The turn ({7-Clubs}) and river ({2-Spades}) were meaningless and the 95,000 chip pot was shipped to Feldman.

"An early Hanukkah present..." Feldman joked, obviously surprised by the other player's reckless abandon.
