Alpandinar Doubles With Flopped Set
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With two players seeing a board of 5♦8♠6♠ and a bit over 15,000 in the middle, a player in the small blind bet 6,500 and Frank Alpandinar raised to 20,000 in the big blind. The small blind deliberated for about a minute before shoving, covering Alpandinar who had 25,200 behind. Alpandinar snap-called, putting himself at risk.
Frank Alpandinar: 6♣6♥ 
Opponent: 7♠7♦
Alpandinar was ahead with a set but had to fade his opponents open-ended straight draw and outs to a higher set. The 3♥A♦ runout was clean for Alpandinar and he secured the double up.
