Set Over Set is Gold

...when you're the guy on the top half. Ben Sarnoff was recently that guy. On a board of {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, Sarnoff got it all in against one opponent. That opponent held pocket sixes; Sarnoff held pocket eights. The turn and river came {J-Spades} {5-Hearts}, eliminating Sarnoff's opponent and rocketing him to the top of our leaderboard with over 160,000 in chips.
