Amendola Doubles Through Van Den Berg in Set Over Set Cooler

Alfonso Amendola (big blind) bet out 3,000 on a {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} flop but Thierry van den Berg (mid position) made it 7,300. Amendola shoved for a little over 30,000.

Van den Berg sighed and looked him in the eye. "I have a set, though," he complained. "Pocket eights." Nevertheless he could not bring himself to fold, and instead announced, "I call."

Van den Berg: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Amendola: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Turn: {7-Hearts}

River: {J-Spades}

"I knew it!" van den Berg exploded, walking off from the table, "Motherf***er. Always!" He sat back down to his newly depleted 15,000 stack and told Amendola, "Run better."

Amendola doubled to 65,000 or so and tried to soothe van den Berg. "My friend. It is set over set. There is nothing you can do." Nevertheless van den Berg continued, "I could see it in your eyes when you raised. I should have folded." Finally something they could agree on. "Yes," said Amendola, "You should."
