Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Mario Escalera raised from early position, and Matthew Schiavo called in the hijack before Anderson Huang defended his big blind.
After Huang checked on the K♦3♠J♠ flop, Escalera bet 2,600 and was met by a quick raise to 7,600 from Schiavo. Huang got out of the way, and Escalera called.
The 5♠ turn and 2♠ river checked through. Escalera tabled 3♦3♣ for a flopped set, but the runout had been crueler to Schiavo, who revealed J♦J♣ for a higher flopped set to win a smaller-than-expected pot.
