"That is a Good Flop"

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Peter Valente moved all in for around 200,000 from early position and was called Dmitriy Stelmak, the player directly to his left. The rest of the players got out of the way and it was off to the races:

Stelmak: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Valente: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

"That is a good flop," Valente said after seeing the {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} fall. Indeed, he had hit a set but Stelmak could still catch a jack for a straight or running flush cards. The {3-Hearts} on the turn was neither. The dealer slowly burned and put out the {5-Clubs} on the river. Valente doubled to around 400,000 while Stelmak took a small hit down to 1.4 million.
