Ding Hits the Flop, Spencer Smacks the Turn to Double
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Biao Ding raised to 16,000 in early position and Lewis Spencer called in middle position. Roman Hrabec then three-bet to 50,000 in the hijack and Ding moved all in. Spencer called for 112,000, while Hrabec got out of the way.
Lewis Spencer: A♠A♥ 
Biao Ding: 7♣7♠
Spencer had trapped Ding with his aces and was poised for a double up until the flop brought 8♠7♥3♣ to give Ding a set. The turn, though, was the A♦ and Spencer also spiked a set to take back the lead. The river was the 5♣ and Spencer doubled up.
