Martin Rivers a Set
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Tommy Nguyen raised to 3,000 on the button, Kevin Martin in the small blind called and the big blind folded.
The flop came A♠J♣Q♠, and both players checked. The J♥ on the turn did not ramp up the action as both players checked.
The 8♠ on the river saw Martin lead for 10,000, and Nguyen quickly called only to be shown the bad news as Martin rivered a set with 8♥8♣ to take the pot.
