Brodsky Loses Against a Set, Then Triples Up With One
Joseph Brodsky was left only 150,000 after losing a hand against Abdulrahim Amer, where Amer raised preflop and bet every street on 9♦10♦2♣4♥J♥. When Brodsky called the last bet on the river, he was shown the bad news, Amer flipped over 2♥2♦ for bottom set.
Less than an orbit later, action started with George Chen’s raise on the hijack, which was three-bet by Nickolas Herbrig and four bet by Brodsky. Chen put in a five-bet, Herbrig and Brodsky called, after which Brodsky was already all in.
The runout was J♠3♠7♣8♣2♣. Chen and Herbrig put in bets and built a side pot with bets on every street, before all three players flipped over their hands.
Brodsky was way ahead with 8♠8♥ for a set and won the main pot, while Chen picked up the substantial side pot with Q♣Q♦, as Herbrig showed the A♠10♠ for a busted flush draw.
