Cherry Hits a Set as Promised
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
In three-way action to the 9?3?2? flop, Thomas Bedford checked and so did Norman Cherry. Timothy Du Plessiers also checked and they did so again on the J? turn. After the 6? river, Shannon Elizabeth and another player joked that someone must have hit a set.
Bedford checked and Cherry now finally bet 20,000.
"I hit a set, don't waste your money," he joked while Du Plessiers was to act. The reluctant fold by Du Plessiers followed and Bedford also let go. Cherry indeed showed his cards, the 9?9? for a slow-played set of nines.
One hand later, Elizabeth raise-folded the A? to a shove by Bedford, who showed his A?.
