Khalaf's Set of Snowmen Help Him to Double
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Marsel Khalaf raised to 40,000 from middle position and only Andrey Pateychuk defended from the big blind.
Pateychuk led out for 35,000 on the 4♣6♦8♣ flop and Khalaf immediately jammed for around 300,000. Pateychuk happily called.
Marsel Khalaf : 8♠8♦ 
Andrey Pateychuk: K♣6♣
Pateychuk had flopped middle pair and a flush draw, but was up against the set of Snowmen of Khalaf . The K♥ turn gave Pateychuk a few more outs, but the 4♠ river wasn't one of them, as Khalaf improved to a boat to win the pot
