Steve Dannenmann and three other players limp to see a flop of A-10-3. The big blind bets 1,600, one player calls, and Dannenmann and the other player folds. The turn card is a six, and Dannenmann gets up from the table to find a nearby reporter. "I would have just hit my set," he says. The reporter offers condolences, only to have Dannenmann reply, "That's okay, I think I'm still behind."
Back at the table, the big blind bets 2,500, and his opponent calls. The river card is a nine, the big blind bets 10,000, and his opponent calls. The two players show down their hands -- it's A-10 vs. A-3, and both players had two pair.
Dannenmann reacts with frustration, as he would have won with his set of sixes, and gotten action from two players with two pair.
