Ignat's Set Helps Him Soar to Almost a Milly
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Three ways to the turn on a board of 7♦J♥4♣K♣. Quan Zhou was first to act from the small blind and led out for 75,000. Liviu Ignat raised to 345,000 from under the gun, forcing Geoffrey Mooney to fold from the hijack. Zhou moved all in for roughly 360,000 and Ignat called.
Quan Zhou: J♦7♠7♥2♥ 
Liviu Ignat: J♣J♠10♥6♥
Both players had flopped a set, but it was Ignat's set of jacks that was ahead, and only a seven from heaven on the river could save Zhou.
The river came the 5♠, meaning Zhou was out and Ignat closed in on a million.
