Just Another Suckout

[user66118]

Albert Iversen was just involved in another large pot, something he must be growing accustomed to over the past couple hours.

In this one, he opens the betting with a raise to 15,000 from early position. Phung Ngo calls in middle position, and Jean-Claude Perrot makes it 45,000 from the cutoff seat. Iversen moves all in when the betting comes back to him, a total bet of 167,000. Ngo folds, and Perrot makes the call, having his man covered.

Iversen: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Perrot: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

Iversen is behind and at risk of elimination. Yet again, the worst hand is going to win this pot. Right on the flop, Iversen makes a set and he never looks back. The board runs out {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Spades}. Iversen snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, and more than doubles up to approximately 350,000. Perrot, despite getting it in way ahead, has been knocked back to 95,000.
