Set-Over-Set Coolers Spell the End for Sandvik, Tsai
Archimedes Arenas raised to 210,000 in early position, Espen Sandvik moved all in for 2,700,000 from the big blind, and Arenas called.
Espen Sandvik: 3♠3♦
Archimedes Arenas: 9♥9♠
"Wow!" tablemate Francisco Fragoso said as the 3♥ came in the window to give Sandvik a set, but it was followed by 9♦8♣ as Arenas also hit a set. The rest of the board ran out 6♣8♦, and Arenas stopped to snap a photo of the board while Sandvik got up to shake his hand before heading to the rail.
At the same time at another table, Andy Tsai and Blake Barousse were heads-up on a board of 6♥5♠A♠K♦ with around 1,000,000 in the pot. Tsai then bet another 1,000,000 on the button, Barousse moved all in from early position, and Tsai snap-called for 2,600,000.
Tsai turned over 5♥5♦ for a flopped set, but Barousse had turned a higher set with K♥K♠. The river was the 6♦ and "Andy Stacks" was sent to the rail.
