Damphousse Sends Two Packing
Thomas Brabham opened from early position and Michael Damphousse called from the small blind before Joseph Spanne made it 8,300 to go from the big blind. Brabham called, leaving himself around 5,000 behind, and Damphousse also called.
The flop came 3♣2♣J♠ and after Damphousse checked, Spanne bet 5,400. Brabham called for his last 5,100, and Damphousse also called.
A 4♦ on the turn saw Damphousse check again, and then Spanne threw in six orange chips, worth 5,000 each. Damphousse then shoved, and Spanne took some time before he called off the extra 40,000 he had behind, leaving him at risk.
Thomas Brabham: AxAx 
Joseph Spanne: Q♠Q♣
Michael Damphousse: 4♠4♣
Damphousse had turned a set and was one card away from setting sail toward a 200,000-chip stack. Only an ace or a queen could prevent it, but the K♥ completed the board, sending both Spanne and Brabham to the rail.
