Greg Buonocore Flops a Set to Survive

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Yin Liu raised to 5,200 from late position and Greg Buonocore moved all in for 35,400 from the cutoff. Liu thought for a moment before calling.

Buonocore was at risk and behind with {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, up against Liu's {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, giving Buonocore the lead with a set of fours. He was on his feet still as the {j-Spades} hit the turn, and the {8-Clubs} hit the river, securing the double-up and leaving Liu with just 8,000 chips.
