State Doubles With a Set
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With the flop showing 5♦7♥10♦, Adrian State and Kenar got all of their chips into the middle to create a pot of around 360,000, with State being the player at risk.
Adrian State: 5♥5♣ 
Kenar: 9♦7♦
Kenar had a pair and flush draw against the bottom set of State. State needed to fade a diamond, or he would be the first elimination of the Main Event.
The J♠ came on the turn and the 4♠ landed on the river, meaning State's set of fives held up and he doubled up.
