After a flop of Heart AHeart JDiamond 5, David Blake checks from the small blind, Lou Barlow bets from UTG, and Blake check-raises all in for 45,000.

Barlow calls with Spade AHeart Q for a pair of aces, but Blake turns over Spade 5Heart 5 for a set of fives. Blake needs his set to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Spade 3, the river card is the Club 8, and the set of fives holds up for Blake to win the pot and double up in chips.

David Blake  –  115,000 (38 bb)
Lou Barlow  –  240,000  (80 bb)
