Top Set No Good
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a three-way turn of 6♥9♣10♠4♦, Maksim Paniak led out for 50,000 into the already swelled pot of over 100,000, and Thixoa Nguyen thought for a bit before she made the call while Yuchung Chang got out of the way.
The river came the 7♥ and Paniak bet just 5,000 into the pot, to which Nguyen responded by moving all in for 25,000.
Paniak sighed and shook his head, but made the call anyway and tabled 10♣10♦ for top set of tens. A very good hand in most circumstances, but it was no match for Nguyen's 7♠8♠ for the flopped straight to win her the large pot.
