Miravi Runs Good with Set over Set
Four players were on a pot of around 70,000 and a flop of Q♠2♥3♣. After action was passed to him by Ilya Nikiforov in the small blind and Michael Miravi under the gun, Bradley Pollard in late position fired 20,000.
In cutoff, Carmino Argiero raised to 50,000. Nikiforov got out of the escalating heat, but Miravi cranked it up with a three-bet of 125,000.
Pollard, not letting go of his hand, four-bet all-in for 187,000 sending Argiero to the tank. Rubbing his cards on the felt and staring directly at the board, Argiero went into deep thought considering his options. Finally, he folded after which Miravi snap-called.
Bradley Pollard: 3♥3♠ 
Michael Miravi: Q♦Q♣
With the hands tabled, Argiero cheered at was apparently a good fold. He claimed he had pocket deuces for the bottom set. Pollard had middle set while Miravi had top set.
The runout of A♠4♠ didn't help Pollard at all, sending him to hit the rails.
