Patel Spikes a Set
Level 39
: Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
Three hands were on their backs at table 765, as the dealer was preparing to reveal the runout.
Rajan Patel: 3♠3♥
Tomas Damico: A♥K♣
Michael Moncek: 5♣5♥
Patel was at risk in the big blind, but spiked a set on the 8♣2♠3♦ flop. Moncek's pair of fives held through the 7♣ turn and 4♠ river to claim the side pot and send Damico out, while Patel tripled his stack.
