Jaurigu Flops a Set and Doubles Up
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action folded to Jesse Jaurigu on the button, and he raised to 1,000. The small blind called, before the big blind Sohale Khalili three-bet to 7,400. Jaurigu called, and the small blind folded.
After the 9♠7♠5♥ flop, Khalili bet 10,200 to put Jaurigu all in, which he quickly called to put himself at risk.
Jesse Jaurigu: 9♥9♦ 
Sohale Khalili: A♠8♦
Khalili ran right into the set of Jaurigu, but could hit a six to make a straight, and had the backdoor nut flush draw. But once the board ran out K♦ on the turn, and J♦ on the river, the set of Jaurigu remained best, to secure the double up.
