Zarghami Flops a Set to Take a Big Pot
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kai Vater opened to 275,000 from middle position. He was called by Mo Xu in the hijack and by Emad Zarghami in the cutoff.
All three of them checked a flop of 6♦Q♠4♣, leading to the K♥ turn, where both Vater and Xu checked again.
Zarghami bet 280,000, then Vater check-raised to 560,000. Xu folded while Zarghami went into the tank. He eventually three-bet to 1,280,000. Vater jammed, and Zarghami called, finding himself at risk for 1,970,000.
Kai Vater: A♦K♦ 
Emad Zarghami: 6♥6♣
Vater moved all in with top pair, but ran into Zarghami's flopped set. The 3♥ river completed the board, and Zarghami doubled up.
