Payne Flops a Set; Is Denied a Full Double
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Jason Somerville opened to 70,000 out of the small blind with the A♥J♣ and Joshua Payne called with the 5♦5♣ in the big blind. Somerville bet his top pair on the A♦Q♠5♥ flop for 75,000 to receive a call and the 6♠ followed on the turn.
Somerville slowed down and checked as Payne bet 200,000 with 405,000 behind. The call by Somerville led them to the 3♦ river on which he checked once more. Payne bet 385,000 with one big blind behind.
Deep in the tank, Somerville eventually folded to avoid further damage to his stack.
Jonathan Dimmig had previously been eliminated from the table and was replaced by Chris Brewer.
