Emile Schiff raised to 6,000 from early position and action folded around to the player in the big blind who defended. After both players checked the 
flop, the big-blind player led out for 6,000 on the turn and Schiff made the call.
Perhaps sensing something in the hand didn't make sense, the player in the big blind then checked the 
river, prompting Schiff to put out a bet of 8,000. The big-blind player re-checked his cards, shifted in his seat and made the call, but quickly folded when Schiff tabled 
for the turned set that had carried through as the best hand on a very draw-heavy board.
