Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing A♦3♠2♦J♣ and a player in middle position checked to Brandon Steven, who bet out 37,500. The middle position player made the call to go to a river.
The river was the 6♠ and after the middle position player checked to Steven, he said, "Do you have a set of threes?" and then checked as well.
His opponent tabled AxKx for top pair-top kicker, but Steven had the best of it with 2x2x for a flopped set, to take the sizable pot.

Enrique Leigue moved all in for 44,500 in the hijack and the small blind called. Jon Pardy leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh before he reshoved for 218,000.
"Oh man," the small blind said as he tanked for around a minute before folding A♣J♣, leaving Leigue and Pardy heads-up.
Enrique Leigue: K♥J♥
Jon Pardy: 10♦10♠
The flop came 9♥6♥3♠ to give Leiger a flush draw to go with his two over cards. "It's sweaty," Pardy said as he and a few other players around the table began filming the action.
The 5♣ turn was safe for Pardy, but Leigue hit the 4♥ on the river to make his flush and earn a triple up right at the end of the night.
