A Set is Good Enough

We caught this hand on the river after Hasan Habib bet 25,000 on a board of {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Steve Verret contemplated the action before making the call. Habib said he didn't have a flush and Verret announced he had a set, tabling {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Habib mucked and saw his stack fall to 142,000. Verret now has 170,000.
