Set Over Set For Over a Million
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Connor Manion started the action in early position by raising to 60,000, getting called by Peter Thai, who was sitting directly to his left. Everyone else folded and both players saw the flop of A♣J♦8♦.
Manion continued with a bet of 60,000 and Thai just called to see the 6♠ on the turn. This time Manion bet 150,000 which was met by an all in from Thai, putting Manion at risk.
Connor Manion: J♣J♠
Peter Thai: A♥A♠
This was disaster for Manion, as both players flopped a set and he was left drawing to only one out on the river. The 4♥ wasn't it and Thai chipped up to well over a million in chips. Manion graciously wished the rest of the table luck as he awaited his payout.
