Ensan Hits Everything to Crack Petersen's Set

Alexander Petersen raised to 160,000 in the cutoff and Hossein Ensan reraised to 570,000 on the button. Petersen took a few moments to look over at Ensan's stack before being reminded his countdown had run out, forcing him to use a time bank.

"I'm confused now, so I call. I'm embarrassed that I had to use a time bank," he said as he and Ensan went heads-up to the Q♦10♦3♣ flop. Ensan then moved all in for 725,000. "That's very good when I have the nuts," Petersen said, snap-calling to put Ensan at risk.

Hossein Ensan: A♦K♣4♠3♦ All in
Alexander Petersen: Q♣Q♠2♣2♥

Petersen had flopped top set, but Ensan had both straight and flush draws. The J♠ turn gave him his straight, while the 7♦ river also gave him a flush to double up.
