Paul Skjerseth Takes a Hit, Boat Over Boat

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player in early position has checked a board reading {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and action is on Paul Skjerseth on the button. Skjerseth bet 1,100. His opponent in early position raised to 3,350, and Skjerseth called.

The river came the {j-Diamonds}. The player in early position led out for 6,000, and Skjerseth opted to call after a moment of thinking about it.

Skjerseth had flopped a set of fives holding {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, but he was way behind his opponent who had flopped a set of aces holding {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.
