Set over Set for Renehan

Richard Hayes

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jaye Renehan had put out a bet of 15,000 on a board of 8♥Q♦6♥10♦ and Jack Chen check-jammed for 98,000. Renehan made the call and was at risk.

Jaye Renehan: 8♠8♦
Jack Chen: 6♦6♠

Renehan was in great shape with a set of eights against Chen's set of fours and the A♥ river was not the miracle out Chen required. Reneham scooped a chunky pot while Chen was left with crumbs.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Cormican opened to 5,500 in early position and was called by Patrice Goberville on the button and Mark Buckley in the big blind.

Buckley checked the Q♣A♦2♠ flop to Cormican, who put out a bet of 6,000. Goberville and Buckley both called.

Buckley checked again to Cormican on the 4♠ turn, who moved all in for 56,500. Goberville quickly called and Buckley folded. Cormican was at risk.

John Cormican: A♣Q♥
Patrice Goberville: A♠5♠

Cormican was in good shape with top two pair but Goberville had the nut flush draw as well as an open-ended straight draw to go with his pair of aces.

To Cormican's dismay, the 3♣ rolled off on the river to give Goberville the straight and send Cormican packing.

Patrice Goberville	200,000 122,000	122,000
Mark Buckley	88,500 88,500	88,500

On the K♠ river, O'Riordan led out for 1,600 and was called by Campbell.

Shane Crosby: 7♦7♥
Kieran O'Riordan: K♦J♦
