Set Over Set Leaves Steele Short
Level 28
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Patrick Kennedy opened to 12,000 on the button and Michael Steele called.
Steele checked to Kennedy on the A♦7♠8♠ flop and he continued for 8,000. Kennedy then check-raised to 28,000 and, undeterred, Kennedy announced another raise to 72,000. Steele called.
The 3♦ fell on the turn and Steele checked to Kennedy, who fired 160,000 into the middle. Steele announced he was all in and Kennedy snap-called all in for 481,000 total.
Steele turned over 7♥7♦ for a set of sevens, but Kennedy showed him the bad news as he turned over 8♦8♥ for a higher flopped set.
“Brutal cooler,” Kennedy said as he collected the pot.
