Ponce Flops a Set to Triple Up
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The action was picked up with the flop showing A?10?7?. Alberto Ponce got his last 25,000 into the middle with Daniel O'Herlihy shoving over the top, and Austin Putnam-Johnson making the call from the cutoff.
Alberto Ponce : 7?7? 
Austin Putnam-Johnson: A?10?
Daniel O'Herlihy : A?10?
O'Herlihy had slightly more chips than Putnam-Johnson, so Putnam-Johnson was also at risk. However, both O'Herlihy and Putnam-Johnson had top two pair, but Ponce currently had the best had with a set of sevens.
The 8? turn followed by the 6? river, meant Ponce would triple up, and Putnam-Johnson and O'Herlihy were left with fumes.
