Samuel Sends Stone Out With a Set

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Erich Tedeschi limped from early position Jacob Stone raised to 2,600 from middle postion. Samuel Ju called from middle position and Tedeschi called as well.

The flop came 2?J?7? and action was checked to Stone, who bet 2,200. Tedeschi folded, but Stone then check-raised to 7,500. Ju called.

The 4? fell on the turn and Stone continued for a 9,000 bet. Ju raised all in for just under 30,000 and Stone called all in for less.

Samuel Stone: A?J?

Adrian State: J?J?
