Rean Makes the Right Call With a Set
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Nirath Rean bet 4,000 from the cutoff on the A♣7♦10♥ flop. Ricardo Alvarado called from the small blind, and Matt O'Donnell called from the hijack.
After it checked to Rean on the 5♠ turn, he bet 9,000, and Alvardo responded with a check-raise to 44,700. O'Donnell immediately folded, and Rean went into the tank. After thinking for over three minutes, Rean called for his 37,000 total.
Nirath Rean: K♦Q♦7♥7♠
Ricardo Alvarado: A♠K♥10♣2♠
Rean was ahead with a set against the top two pair of Alvarado. The 9♥ river didn't change anything, and Rean doubled up.
