Choy Doubles the Stacks Nearly Even

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

John-Paul Portal raised to 240,000 on the button, then snapped off a three-bet shove for 1.01 million from Chris Choy in the big blind.

Chris Choy: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
John-Paul Portal: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Choy hit a set on the {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, and Portal was dead after the {6-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river, leaving the stacks virtually even after back-to-back doubles.
