Anh’s set over set sends Yu down


Do Hoang Anh and Ryan Yu had great hands preflop that both improved on the board but Anh got the better in the end with his higher set. During the hand, Yu raised to 375, got reraised to 1500 by Anh, and Yu flat-called. At the flop of A 2 8, both players quietly checked. At the turn of K, Yu led out for 2500, got repopped by Anh with a tall stack of high denomination chips pretty much putting Yu all in. Yu moved all in and as they showed, Yu had 8 8 for a set but Anh had A A for a sweeter set. On the river of 3, Yu bowed out as Anh seized a big pile.
