This one I got a kick out of. This was the 3rd hand of the tournament (11 players total so we're five handed on this table).
0 - Button: 1450
3 - Hero: 1485
4 - BB: 1520
7 - UTG: 1495
8 - CO: 1535
I am dealt K
K
and post the SB (5).
BB posts 10, UTG raises to 35, fold, fold, I raise to 165, fold UTG calls.
Flop: Q
K
5
(Pot is 340)
I check, which is not what I should do here but I do. I have played UTG before and know he's aggressive when someone shows weakness.
UTG bets 350. I flat call.
Turn: Q

I check again, to let this guy hang himself.
UTG shoves 975 and I call 970.
Turn: Q

My opponent turns over 5
5
and I take the pot. Set over set on the flop... brutal. I honestly don't know how he called the reraise pre-flop with 5-5 but I bet he thought he was GOLDEN when he hit his set.
