Berende's Bleak Looking Set
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Paul Berende was just put in tough spot on the river when his set of queens didn't look too good anymore. Berende started the hand with a raise to 900 and two players made the call.
The flop brought out 
and Berende bet 1,600, after which one opponent made the call. On the turn the 
hit and Berende's opponent check-called 2,900. The river was the 
and all of sudden Berende's opponent lead out for 3,500.
Berende tanked for quite a while but eventually he made a reluctant call. Berende was shown 
and his 
still turned out to be vicarious on this scary looking board.
"I'm not sure what I would've done if he bet very big," Berende laughed.
