Monteiro Flops Set, but Can't Win

From the cutoff seat, Rafael Monteiro raised to 36,000. Felipe Pasini reraised all in for 310,000. Monteiro made the call.

Monteiro: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Pasini: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Monteiro landed a set of nines to really put a strangle hold on this hand. Pasini would need runner-runner straight or flush cards in order to stay alive without the board pairing.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and it was a good card for Pasini. The river was even better with the {8-Diamonds} to give Pasini a straight and double him up.
