Pocket Rockets No Good Against a Set

Joe Ebanks raised to 12,000 under the gun only to have Bassel Moussa three-bet to 30,000. Lee Markholt decided to make a call from the small blind, while Ebanks called behind. Action checked around to Moussa on the {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop and he fired out a respectable 72,000. Markholt made a quick folded, Ebanks moved all in, and Moussa quickly called off his last 80,000.

Moussa: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Ebanks: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Moussa no doubt liked his pocket rockets preflop, but he was none too happy to see the top set of Ebanks. Neither the {J-Diamonds} turn nor {3-Diamonds} river helped Moussa and he was eliminated from the tournament.
