Set Over Set for LaMarca

Tony LaMarca was in early position and raised to 1,500. The late position player and the big blind both called. The flop came out 9♦6♠3♥ and LaMarca bet out 1,000 after the big blind checked and received a call from both players.

The turn brought the 4♥ and the big blind checked and LaMarca placed the bet of 4,000. The late position player folded and the big blind produced the old check raise maneuver and raised to 9,000. LaMarca took a bit of time and made the call.

The river 7♣ prompted a bet from the big blind to 15,000 and LaMarca took some time again and then made the call. The big blind turned over 6♣6♦ for the set and LaMarca slammed down 9♣9♠ for the bigger set.

LaMarca told the big blind player, "You actually lost the least amount of money, due to the straight being a possibility".
