Mobeen Prevails in Battle of Sets

Mohamed Mobeen was among three players involved in a brewing situation with three-bet action before the flop.

With the pot swollen, the dealer placed 7♦5♦J♦ on the board and the fireworks began.

A player in the small blind checked, leading to the player in early position to move all in for 480,000. Mobeen was next to act on the button, moved all in for 685,000.

The last player, who was in the big blind, had both players covered and agonized over his decision, asking for a count of each separate stack from the dealer. He then took up to a minute, repeatedly looking at his cards and the board while shaking his head before deciding to fold.

The cards were then tabled showing set over set.

Mobeen: 7♠7♣
Opponent: 5♥5♦

The dealer placed J♠ on the turn and K♥ on the river, giving Mobeen the win and a large pot.
