Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The player in the cutoff raised to 2,500 and the button called. The player in the small blind came along before Buudang Nguyen three-bet jammed for 35,700 from the big.
The original raiser folded, the button moved all in over the top for 88,900, and the small blind folded.
Buudang Nguyen: 
Button: 
Nguyen was in dire straits but you can guess from the title of this post what happened. That's right, the board ran out 
and Nguyen turned a set to score the double.

Over at Table 43, action folded to the player on the button and he raised to 3,000. Ken Goodkind defended his big blind and then turned around and led out for 3,000 of his own on the 
flop. The played on the button called.
After the 
appeared on the turn, Goodkind bet another 3,000, which his opponent called.
On the 
river, Goodkind downsized to 2,000 and his opponent sort of shook his head and tossed in a call while saying, "I should've folded the first time. You have an ace."
Indeed, Goodkind tabled the 
for top pair and his opponent flashed the 
before sending his hand to the muck.

Dax Funderburk, who is sporting a hat that asks "Got Garlic?", raised to 2,600 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 6,000 from the player on the button.
Both blinds folded and Funderburk called to see a 
flop.
Funderburk proceeded to check-call a bet of 4,500 before both players checked the 
turn.
When the 
peeled off on the turn, Funderburk bet 8,500 and his opponent paid it off.
"I've got a set," the garlic man said as he rolled over the 
for the rivered set. It was good as his opponent mucked in frustration.
"You had to go all the way to town for that," someone else at the table quipped.

After the player on the button limped, Dan Alfano raised to 2,400 from the small blind. Alida Veliu called from the big and then the limper popped it to 6,200.
Both Alfano and Veliu called, the flop fell 
, and all three players checked.
After the dealer burned and turned the 
, Alfano bet 8,000 and Veliu raised to 16,500. That chased out the button, but Alfano called to see the double pair the board on the river.
Alfano opted to lead out for a modest 10,000 and Veliu quickly called.
Alfano tabled the 
as Veliu mucked while claiming to have had a nine.

There was already 20,000 in the pot and a board reading 
when we picked up the action.
Greg Raymer was in the big blind and checked to his lone opponent in the hijack. That player checked and the 
paired the board on the river.
Raymer checked again and his opponent followed suit while saying, "Queen high."
Raymer then rolled over the 
for a counterfeited flopped two pair, though it was still good.

There is a poker celebrity in the house here in the Parx Big Stax XXXII 1100 Championship.
In 2004, Greg Raymer became a poker household name after he bested a field of 2,576 players to win the World Series of Poker Main Event for $5 million. You might remember him defeating David Williams in heads-up play and competing at a final table that hosted such memorable faces as Josh Arieh and Dan Harrington. The "Singing Dutchman" Marcel Luske bubbled that final table finishing in 10th place for $373,000.
Raymer is looking to continue his hot start to 2020. In fact, it was just over a month ago that he topped a 520-entry field to win the Heartland Poker Tour East Chicago $1,650 Main Event for $171,411 and his record fifth HPT title. On top of that, he recently one some smaller tournament during a guest appearance at Black Oak Casino Resort in Tuolumne, California.
Raymer, the 2012 HPT Player of the Year, was also a recent guest on the PokerNews Podcast, which you can listen to by clicking here.
