Karschamroon's Middle Set Nets Him Chip Lead

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

From under the gun, Matthew Chang raised to 5,000. Patrick Karschamroon called from the next seat, another player in middle position called, the cutoff seat called and then Eddy Sabat called in the big blind.

The five players saw the flop come down {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Sabat and Chang checked to Karschamroon. He bet 20,000 and the next player folded. The cutoff seat raised all in for 64,400. Sabat folded and then action fell on Chang. He tanked and tanked, for about seven minutes into the break before finally folding. Karschamroon snap-called and tabled the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for middle set. His opponent in the cutoff seat held the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {2-Diamonds} to keep Karschamroon's set of tens as the best hand. He eliminated his opponent and saw his chip stack swell to 230,000.

Chang was pacing back and forth behind the table, exciting about the good fold he claimed to just make. When some of the other tablemates asked what he had, he said that he laid down the other two queens. Still, as play rolls into the next levels, Chang is telling everyone about the great fold he fold. "Can you believe I laid that down?" he said.
