Thornton Triples Up With a Set

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Thornton raised to 2,500 in early position and Stephen Green called in the cutoff. The big blind then three-bet to 7,000, and both Thornton and Green called.

The flop came J♣3♦6♦ and the big blind continued for 10,000. Thornton then moved all in for 12,600, and Green and the big blind called.

The 10♦ turn was checked through, and the big blind then bet 10,000 on the A♣ river to chase away Green. He showed A♥K♥, but Thornton had 3♥3♣ for a flopped set to win the pot and triple up.
