Hong Can't Believe It
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Vasileios Tsaknis raised to 13,000 from under the gun and Tomas Paiva called in the small blind. Paul Hong three-bet to 53,000 in the big blind. Tsaknis took his time and then folded while Paiva shoved for 205,000. Hong snap-called.
Tomas Paiva: 
Paul Hong: 
The board ran out 
for Paiva to find a king on the river for a set to double up with while Hong looked stunned while the dealer took out the 205,000 to pay Paiva.
