I See a Red Door and I Want it Painted Black

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Andy Black re-raised preflop to 2,575 in position and found himself heads up headed to the flop.

It rolled off {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both players snap-checked. The turn was the {3-Spades} and once again it was checked to Black. This time he bet 5,000 and after some thought, his opponent called. The river was the {9-Spades} and when given the opportunity, Black bet 11,000. His opponent was clearly not happy and thought for awhile. Eventually, he announced a call. Black immediately tabled {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a set and his opponent angrily mucked his cards.

Black now has 55,000 chips.
