Battle of the Baby Sets

Phil Gordon
Phil Gordon
With a pot of 7,000 and a board showing {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}, two players, including Heather Escuin, checked to Phil Gordon who bet 15,000. Escuin then raised all in for a total of 32,000. The third player got out of the way, and Gordon made the call.

Escuin showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a set of threes, but Gordon had {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for the better set. The turn was the {K-Clubs} and the river the {6-Diamonds}, and Escuin is out. Gordon has now built his stack up to 155,000.
