Schaefer's Set is Good
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dennis Schaefer opened to 160,000 in middle position and Leonardo Ludovisi called out of the small blind.
They went to a flop of 10♠J♠5♠ where Ludovisi checked and Schaefer bet 150,000. Ludovisi called to the 2♥ turn, where again he went into check-call mode when Schaefer bet 450,000.
A 7♠ on the river checked through, and Ludovisi showed a pair of jacks with A♥J♣. That was no good, though, as Schaefer had a set of tens holding 10♥10♣ to win the pot.
