Morret Cracks Valder's Set

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

From the small blind, Chase Morret, a poker dealer at the Bellagio here in Las Vegas, bet 7,000 into a pot of 12,000 with a {6-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board on the felt. Benjamin Valder raised to 20,000 in the hijack, and Morret thought for a bit before calling.

Morret jammed on the {j-Clubs} river for Valder's last 25,000.

"Worst card in the deck..." Valder said. He thought for a few moments before collecting his chips and placing them in the pot.

Morret tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for Broadway, and a frustrated Valder flashed his {q-}{q-} before making his exit.
