Aerts on the Right Side of a Cooler
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Pieter Aerts made it 7,000 from the hijack, and Seth Davies three-bet to 20,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Aerts four-bet to 61,000. Davies ripped it all in, and Aerts called for his stack of 257,000.
Pieter Aerts: K♥K♠ 
Seth Davies: Q♣Q♠
Both players held premium pocket pairs, but it was Aerts with the cowboys who looked poised to double up.
The runout came A♠K♦3♠10♣5♣ to give Aerts the winning hand with a set, and he moved up to over double the starting stack.
