Di Nicola Escapes from Top Pair versus Set
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Manuel Ferrari opened to 1,100,000 with 6♥6♣, and Ermanno Di Nicola defended Q♦3♦.
On the Q♠7♣5♥ flop, Di Nicola check-raised to 2,100,000 in the face of a bet of 700,000 from Ferrari, who made the call.
The 6♦ turn gave Ferrari a set, and he checked to Di Nicola, who fired out a bet of 3,500,000. Ferrari just called.
The 2♣ river completed the board, and Ferrari checked once more, laying the trap. Somehow Di Nicola did not fall into it, finding the check back.
