It's a feat in itself to flop a set when playing no-limit hold'em and players marvel at it when they do so. It's another thing to be fortunate enough to have another player make a smaller set at the same time in order to get paid off. For it to happen twice in a day, to the same person, that's just crazy.

and Queen showed the winner with the 
river, Nick Pupillo bet 4,400 and was called by an opponent. Pupillo held nine-high until that point but the straight on the board by the river, meant he chopped the pot when his opponent called with
