Following two limps, Michael Falcon raises and Hiroyuki Tanae in the small blind three-bets to 11,000. Somashekar Sanampuri is the only one to call before Falcon then four-bets to 29,000 in the hijack. Tanae calls and Sanampuri sigh-folds.

On a Diamond 10Club 7Heart 4 flop, Tanae check-calls the shove by Falcon with some 55,000 behind and the Thailand resident instantly asks “did you flop a set?”

Hiroyuki Tanae: Club QClub 10
Michael Falcon: Heart KClub K

Falcon is somewhat stunned and the Club A turn then brings some spice with a flush draw. However, the Spade 4 doesn’t change anything and Tanae hits the rail.

Michael Falcon – 205,000 (171 bb)
Somashekar Sanampuri – 95,000 (79 bb)
