Schmid Spikes Set to Double

Justin Cohen raised to 200,000 and Mark Schmid re-raised to 650,000. Cohen made the call and the flop came {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Schmid led out for 650,000 and Cohen raised all in. Schmid called as fast as humanly possible and the players turned over their hands.

Schmid: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Cohen: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}

Schmid had flopped top set which was the current nuts and would only need to avoid running jacks or running spades that didn’t pair the board to double up and running straight straight cards to avoid a chop. The turn was the {3-Clubs} which had Cohen drawing dead the river was the {K-Clubs}. Schmid doubled up to take back the chip lead again and an overwhelming one at that.
