Genovese Scores a Knockout

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With a small pot in the middle on a {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades} board, a player had 3,800 committed to the pot, and Salvatore Genovese raised to 13,200. His opponent moved all in for roughly 21,000 and Genovese called.

Opponent: {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Salvatore Genovese: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

It was flopped set versus turned two pair, and the {k-Diamonds} river changed nothing to confirm the pot for Genovese.
