Shao Gets Full Value With Flopped Set
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
With around 220,000 already in the middle and the board showing A♣J♣5♦, Robert Kuhn led out for 40,000 from the big blind. Wei Shao made the call.
The 2♦ turn saw Kuhn check, and Shao fired 75,000. Kuhn stuck around with a call to bring in the river.
When the 9♣ completed the board, Kuhn checked for a third time. Shao then moved all in for 220,000, putting Kuhn to a decision for a sizable pot.
Kuhn spent some time in the tank before eventually making the call. Shao tabled A♠A♦ for a flopped set of aces, while Kuhn could only show K♦K♥ before sending his hand into the muck.
