Scott Spikes Set

On a flop of {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs} Paul Raseta fired out a bet of 5,000 before being raised to 12,000 by Andrew Scott. Raseta swiftly moved all in for 23,500 and Scott made the call.

Raseta: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Scott: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Both players held overpairs, as Scott would need to hit a queen to take the pot. The turn delivered for Scott, as the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn left Raseta needing to hit a king to survive. The {A-Spades} wasn't it, and Raseta hits the rail as Scott, who finished runner-up at the 2008 APPT Macau High Rollers Event, now sits with a healthy 66,000 chips.
