Anton Flops a Set
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alvin Anton raised to 15,000 from early position and was called by Zachariah Kates in middle position.
The flop came 7♦5♠4♦ and Anton checked to Kates, who bet out 40,000. Anton then raised all in for 105,000, which was snap called by Kates.
Alvin Anton: 7♠7♣ 
Zachariah Kates: A♦K♦
Anton flopped a set but would need to fade a diamond to stay in the tournament. When the board ran out Q♠ on the turn, and 3♣ on the river, the set of sevens were still best, and Anton secured the double up.
