Level 2 : Limits 300/600, 0 ante

On a 10 turn both players checked. The river brought the 8. Naima again led out and was called by Lauria. Lauria flipped over 77 for a set, and Naima mucked.

"I'm a limit hold 'em wizard!" declared Lauria.

"You know what it takes to be a limit hold 'em wizard?" his tablemate Chris Hartman asked. "Keep flopping trips!"
