N.B. Flopping a Set Can Be Lucrative

Noah Boeken, whom I seem to recall attending the EPT right from its early inception, and who's been representing Holland in brightly coloured T-shirts with Team Pro Holland patches on them pretty much all the while, just won a hefty pot. It started off tamely enough, with some limpers including Boeken being raised by the player on his left to 550. Boeken made the call, and they saw a flop of {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Check to the raiser, who bet 850, raised quickly by Boeken to 2,200. He didn't have to wait long for the call and {4-Diamonds} turn. Now Boeken just bet out 3,800 - again, called. The river was the {A-Diamonds} and something about it prompted his opponent to call once more (albeit somewhat reluctantly) when Boeken bet 8,200.

Boeken turned over his {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} one card at a time, although very fast, which probably makes it an average-paced-roll overall.
