Assareh Doubles

Shahriar Assareh opened to 200,000 from early position, Nicco Maag called out of the small blind, and Marc Ladouceur defended his big blind.

The flop fell {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and Maag checked. Ladouceur tossed out 345,000, Assareh called, leaving 450,000 behind, and Maag folded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs}, and Ladouceur slid out a tower of lavender T100,000 chips worth at least 1.6 million. Assareh quickly called.

"You have a big over-pair?" Ladouceur asked.

"No," Assareh answered, turning over {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. "I have a set."

Ladouceur tabled {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and a meaningless {6-Hearts} completed the board, and Assareh doubled.
