Chien Flops a Set
Level 31
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Peter Chien was all-in from the big blind, facing Iuri Ribeiro in early position.
Peter Chien: 9♠9♦
Iuri Ribeiro: A♣8♣
Chien's pocket pair improved to a set of nines on the Q♠9♥2♠ flop, and improved again to a full house on the Q♥ turn. That locked up the hand, as the K♣ river completed the board to secure Chien's double.
