Gheba’s Set Takes It Down
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Daniyal Gheba raised 240,000 in middle position with [9hh9d] and action folded around to Eddie Ochana, who called in the big blind with 8♥6♣.
The dealer fanned 2♥6♥9♠, giving Ochana middle pair. Unfortunately, Gheba drilled top set to take a commanding lead. Ochana checked, and Gheba bet 220,000, which Ochana called.
The J♠ arrived on the turn. Ochana checked, prompting Gheba to bet 675,000. Ochana quickly mucked his hand and the 1,775,000 pot was pushed to Gheba.
