Ketzer Catches a Set
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
When the action was caught there were already 16,800 chips in the middle, for a pot of more than 80 big blinds. Felipe Ketzer was in the small blind and bet another 4,000 on the A♠7♠3♦9♠ board. His opponent was Alexandros Kolonias and he made the call.
Ketzer then opted to check the 4♥ river and Kolonias quickly checked behind. Ketzer was trying to set a trap on the river, as he showed A♦A♥ for flopped top set. It would be hard for Kolonias to beat this, and indeed he did not, as he mucked his cards.
