Greg Raymer (as seen in a previous event)
Greg Raymer (as seen in a previous event)

On the flop of {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}, Greg Raymer was all in for 27,800 and Matt Berkey reraised all in. There was a third player who looked to have a bet of around 7,000-bet in front of him, but he decided to leave it to Raymer and Berkey.

Berkey: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Raymer: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}

Berkey had flopped a set of fives but Raymer was still drawing very live with an open-ended straight flush draw. The {3-Hearts} turn held Berkey ahead but the {k-Spades} river filled Raymer's draw and the gigantic pot was shipped his way.

Set Over Set

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

In a large pot with Pierre Neuville already all in, the board read {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Scott Eskenazi had put out a river bet of 15,000.

His opponent was mulling over the decision and took about thirty seconds before making the call.

"I have a set" he said. but Eskenazi showed the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} which trumped the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} of his opponent, who defeatedly rolled over his conquered set.

Neuville's hand was quickly turned over as no good and he walked away busted from the table.
