Amiri Runs Into Nagornijs' Set

Ruslans Nagornijs raised to 300 on the button and Ehsan Amiri called in the big blind.

The flop came J♥2♥9♦ and Nagornijs continued for 400. Amiri called.

The turn was the 5♦ and Nagornijs bet another 1,000. Amiri then raised to 2,500 and Nagornijs called as they saw the Q♦ river.

Amiri bet 3,200 and Nagornijs called once again. Amiri showed J♦8♣ for a pair of jacks, but Nagornijs had 2♣2♠ for a set of deuces to win the pot.

At the same table, EPT Barcelona champion Simon Wiciak has already lost nearly a third of his starting stack.
