Set for Port Secures the Double
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
All the chips went in preflop of Rafael Port in middle position and Tanith Rothman in the small blind, and the cards were on their backs.
Rafael Port: 8♠8♣
Tanith Rothman: A♥Q♠
Port was slightly ahead going in, but the 8♦9♦5♠ flop left no doubt, giving him a set of eights. The J♠ turn and 7♠ river changed nothing, and Port scored a clean double-up to stay in the mix.
