Livello 3 : Limits 800/1,600, 0 ante

Three ways to the Q♥7♥3♦ flop, a single bet went into the middle between Nicholas Blumenthal, Dylan Smith and Chino Rheem. The former then bet the 9♦ turn and Smith folded, while Rheem raised to earn a call.

After the J♠ river, both checked and Blumenthal announced a set of jacks, flashing the K♦Q♦J♦J♠. "You have a what?!" Rheem instantly asked as he vaulted out of the chair from the other side of the table to study the cards of his opponent.

"You were in great shape," the sarcastic comment by Rheem followed as he exposed his A♣A♦6♦ and mucked the fourth card face down.
