Raul Paez' day started off in horrible fashion for someone with a set. We caught the action when the board read {3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Spades} and Dmitry Ponomarev bet out 3,000 from the small blind. Paez raised it up to 12,500 and Ponomarev quickly made the call.

On the river the {J-Diamonds} popped up and Ponomarev checked to Paez who fired out 12,500. Ponomarev looked down at his cards, put together the right amount and casually made the call.

Paez quickly turned over {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and was waiting for the dealer to push him the pot. The Spaniard was expecting anything but for his opponent to turn over the best hand but Ponomarev did. The Russian player tabled his {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for a higher set and he took down this big pot in the first level. Paez was knocked down to 13,000 chips.
