Nica's Top Set Goes Down in Flames
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Dietrich Fast opened the button and Cosmin Nica three-bet the small blind to 1,500. Alberto Barquin then four-bet the big blind to 3,500, which got Fast to fold, and Nica called.
They went to a flop of 8♦7♦10♠ where Nica checked, Barquin bet 3,000, Nica raised to 7,500, and Barquin called.
When the J♦ dropped on the turn, Nica continued his aggressive line with a bet of 7,000, which Barquin called.
A 6♠ completed the runout and Nica fired one last bet of 10,000, and Barquin called quickly.
Nica tabled 10♦10♣ for a set, but Barquin had a straight with 9♠9♥ for the winner.
