Garshofsky Scoops a Monster

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three players put in 6,500 preflop, with the hijack appearing to have three-bet an open by Mitch Garshofsky and the small blind calling cold. On the {9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop, action checked to the hijack, who bet 12,000. The small blind called, Garshofsky shoved for just under 40K, and the hijack snap-shipped it in behind. He had 52,100 and the small blind tank-called.

Garshofsky: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Hijack: {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Small blind: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Garshofsky was in a good position with his set, and the {3-Diamonds} and {10-Clubs} kept him best on the turn and river. The hijack won a small side pot to survive.
