Scire Sails to a Double-Up
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
There were around 50,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 7♣4♦Q♣ when Nicola Scire had bet 18,000. Philip Skarstedt then announced a raise to 48,000, which got both Jorge Artiga-Pacheco and Byron Kaverman to fold. Scire then went all in for 117,000 total, and Skarstedt called.
Nicola Scire: 4♣4♠ 
Philip Skarstedt: A♣J♣
Scire had flopped a set of fours but needed to dodge the clubs of Skarstedt. An A♥ on the turn did give Skarstedt a pair of aces but it didn't change anything, and neither did the 5♠ river.
