Kovalski Flops a Set, Ends Up Third Best

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Neville Mateus raised to 300,000 from early position with {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and was called by Fabiano Kovalski with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} in the button. Scott Margereson, holding {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, also came along from the small blind and they went three ways to the {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

Margereson and Mateus checked over to Kovalski and he bet 425,000 with his flopped set. Both opponents, holding top pair, called.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn improved Mateus and Margereson to a straight as all three players checked. They made a higher straight on the {q-Hearts} river and Mateus bet 1,200,000.

Kovalski got away from his set, while Margereson called to split the pot.
