Set Over Set Helps Kawamoto to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Mark Kawamoto raised under the gun with only Xia Wang making the call from the next seat.
Kawamoto continued with a bet of 100,000 on the 5♥K♣7♠ flop and was met by an immediate raise to 500,000 from Wang. Kawamoto did some inventory and then 3-bet jammed for 1,135,000. Wang quickly called.
Mark Kawamoto: K♠K♥ 
Xia Wang: 5♦5♣
It was a cooler as both players had flopped a set. Wang needed to find the last remaining five in the deck to send Kawamoto home. The rest of the runout came 4♦Q♠ and Kawamoto earned a huge double-up.
