Franco Sets the Trap
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Bernd Gleissner opened from the cutoff to 135,000, and when it folded to do the big blind Sonny Franco, he made the call.
The flop came 2♣7♦10♦ and Franco check-called the bet of 155,000 from Glesissner.
The turn was Q♥ and after Franco checked, Glesissner bet out 220,000. Franco then raised to 505,000 before Glessiner quickly three-bet to put Franco all in for a total of 1,080,000. Franco snap-called and put himself at risk of elimination.
Sonny Franco: Q♠Q♣ 
Bernd Gleissner: A♦4♦
Franco was well in the lead with his set of queens, just needing to fade the flush draw from Gleissner. The river was the 8♠ and Franco's set was still best and took down the pot for the double up.
