Now That's a Cooler

Set over set is such a deadly situation for the person on the bottom end. The latest victim of that scenario was Heather Escuin, who checked on the river with the board showing {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. Her opponent bet 25,000. Escuin came over the top with an all-in check-raise that her opponent called in a shot. Escuin showed pocket twos for a full house, twos full of queens, but her opponent had pocket fives for a full house, fives full of queens.

That hand knocked Escuin back to 73,000.
