Top Set + Overpair = Huge Pot

On a flop of {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, Gianni Giaroni checked being first to act. Viotto Rintala checked as well and action fell on the third player in the hand, Corneliu Cretu, fired 2,425. Giaroni called before Rintala raised to 6,425. Cretu made the call and then Giaroni moved all of his chips into the middle.

"Here we go." announced Rintala as he slid his hand, not his chips, into the middle of the table. Cretu then tanked. Giaroni was all in for a total of 32,200. Eventually, Cretu made the call and tabled {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}. Giaroni was in the lead with top set -- {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}.

The turn added some flush outs for Cretu when the {2-Hearts} fell, but after the {A-Diamonds} hit the river, he was still second best. He shipped the chips over to Giaroni and dropped to 14,000. Giaroni moved up to over 70,000.
