Alex Jacob raised to 250 from early position. Action folded around to a short-stacked player, who moved all in for 925. When it got back around to Jacob, he made a quick call. The players showed:

Jacob: 5-5
Opponent: K-K

The flop hit Alex squarely, coming 9-5-3. When the turn came the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, Jacob was in excellent position to pick up some chips and send a player home in the process. The river dropped the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and just like that Jacob's set was second best. His opponent doubled through him and left him with a mere 1,300.
