Greg Raymer Doubles Up With Set-Over-Set

THE FIFTY-- On a flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Wei Ma bet 2,000, Noel Furlong raised to 8,000 and Greg Raymer moved all in for 16,400 before putting on his trademark "Fossilman" glasses. After much consideration, Ma shrugged his shoulders and said "I'm all in," moving in another 21,000, and Furlong folded.

Raymer turned up {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for middle set while Ma showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for bottom set. The turn was the {Q-Spades}, the river was the {8-Clubs}, and Raymer took down the pot, shooting his stack up to nearly 42,000. Ma survived the hand and was left with 4,600 chips.

"I guess I could have folded," a surprisingly calm Ma wondered aloud, shuffling his now-short stack.

"I know how you feel, man. I've been in your place before," the Fossilman offered as a consolation.
