Assareh Doubles

Shahriar Assareh opened to 200,000 from early position, Nicco Maag called out of the small blind, and Marc Ladouceur defended his big blind.

The flop fell {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} , and Maag checked. Ladouceur tossed out 345,000, Assareh called, leaving 450,000 behind, and Maag folded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} , and Ladouceur slid out a tower of lavender T100,000 chips worth at least 1.6 million. Assareh quickly called.

"You have a big over-pair?" Ladouceur asked.

"No," Assareh answered, turning over {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} . "I have a set."

Ladouceur tabled {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} , and a meaningless {6-Hearts} completed the board, and Assareh doubled.
