Dwek Goes Runner-Runner to Deliver Set-Breaking Defeat

Geoff Paul

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was joined with Jonathan Dwek and an opponent both having committed over 100,000 to the pot.

According to Dwek, his opponent raised to 8,000 preflop from the hijack. Dwek then reraised to 24,000 from the small blind, and his opponent in the hijack called.

The flop came 6?8?Q?. Dwek bet 15,000, to which his opponent moved all in. Dwek made the call.

Hijack: 8?8?
Jonathan Dwek: A?A?

Dwek's opponent was way ahead with his flopped set of eights. The 2? gave Dwek additional outs, and the K? completed the nut flush for him. His opponent left the table, and could only shake his head in disbelief.
