During Hecklers' Week of Poker After Dark - featuring Sam Grizzle, Phil Hellmuth, Shawn Sheikhan, Jean-Robert Bellande, Mike Matusow, and Gavin Smith - one player had finally busted and it was time to shake things up a bit. In this particular hand Robert Bellande called the $300 big blind with a small pocket pair known as the Speed Limit: ... Shawn also called the big blind with his own pocket pair, known as the Ducks: ... That was when Phil wanted to make it interesting, and raised it up to $1,700. With two players hoping to catch sets on the flop, there was still only one call, and it was Shawn. Marianela Pereyra, the new host replacing Shana Hyatt, watched as the cards were dealt. The flop was: ... and both Shawn and Phil checked their options. The turn came: ... and Robert kicked himself - had he paid the $1,700 he would have been way out in front. When the river hit: ... Robert didn't know it, but he would have likely busted Shawn. Set over set is a nasty way to go - usually both players think they have the best hand and bet accordingly. Shawn bet out $2,000, figuring his set was good. He was right. Phil folded away, and Shawn took down the pot with three ducks.
