When we arrived Andy Black's table there was a lot of action going on, with a 
flop showing and one player having bet 10,500 and one player calling before it was on Black who shoved for around 50,000. The first player folded and the next player called as the hands were turned over.
Black:   |
Opponent:   |
Black was in front with his set and it stayed that way as he dodged plenty of bullets, with the turn and the 
river safe enough for Black to double his stack, and then some.
