Set Over Set For Holsonback

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

We get to the table with the chips flying into the middle on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}. John Holsonback moved all in for approximately 25,000 total over the top of a raise and a call. Both players made the call creating a main pot of close to 90,000.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and the remaining two players checked.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and the player in Seat Two checked. His opponent, however, did not, as he moved all in for his last 38,800. After a few moments of thought the player in Seat Two folded and his opponent proudly turned over {9-}{9-} for a flopped set of nines. To his dismay, however, Holsonback had also flopped a set and it was one notch higher than his as he had {10-}{10-} for a set of tens.

"Not a bad pot," said table mate Brandon Steven as Holsonback stacked his newly acquired chips. He was up to approximately 90,000 after the hand.
