Patka Gets Paid with Set
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Roberto Armato opened to 50,000 from the hijack and was called by Tomas Patka on the button.
On the K♣Q♠5♥ flop, Armato continued with a bet of 40,000 and Patka called.
Armato slowed down, and check-called a bet of 80,000 from his opponent on the 6♦ turn.
Armato checked once more on the J♦ river. Patka fired out a bet of 300,000 and, after some thought, Armato called. He was shown the bad news when Patka revealed 5♦5♣ for a set of fives, and Armato tapped the table and mucked his hand.
