Lue Huang Sets His Opponent Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The player under the gun limped in, and Lue Huang raised to 1,500 from middle position. The small blind and big blind both called, as did the player under the gun.

The flop came {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Action was checked to Huang who bet 2,300. The small blind called and the big blind folded. The under-the-gun player check-raised to 8,000. Huang thought for a moment and called. The small blind folded.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}. The under-the-gun player moved all in and Huang snap-called, immediately taling {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a set of deuces. His opponent said, "Nice hand" and tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, getting up from the table after realizing he was drawing dead to the {4-Spades} on the river.
