Cherry Sweetens His Stack With Middle Set
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a flop of 10♥A♥7♦ with around 18,000 in the middle, Zhicheng Miao checked from the big blind and Stephen Cherry fired 5,000 from early position. Miao clicked it to 10,500, and Cherry called.
A 4♦ dropped on the turn and Miao shoved, then Cherry snap-called for his stack of 37,500.
Stephen Cherry: 10♦10♠ 
Zhicheng Miao: A♠10♣
A cooler of a flop saw Cherry flop a set, and Miao hit top two pair. It was inevitable that the chips would find themselves in the middle, and the 9♣ river meant Cherry's set held up.
