HomeDevesh Thapar and Johannes Felix Hoeld went head-to-head for a pot that ended with Thapar doubling up while saying, “such a sweat with top set!” And it sure seemed that way.
The hand kicked off with a raise by Thapar from late position, Hoeld three-bet to 61k from the button, Thapar four-bet to 134k, then Hoeld slowed it down with a call. At the flop K♥ A♥ 5♦, Thapar bet 85k, Hoeld shoved, and Thapar with the snap-call.
Thapar K♦ K♣ set
Hoeld 9♥ 5♥ pair + draw
Unsurprisingly, the table was shocked to see Hoeld’s hand. The turn 9♠ and 3♠ river completed the board and Thapar’s set earned him a big double up.

Immediately after that hand, Thapar raised to 24k, Nguyen Trung Hieu three-bet to 67k, and Thapar called. On the flop 5♥ 5♣ 4♥, Hieu led for 50k and it was called. On the 2♦ turn, no bets were fired. On the Q♠ river, Hieu checked, Thapar bet 125k, and won it with Hieu folding.
