Quads for Silverman

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was opened in early position to 35,000. It folded to Stephen Silverman in late position who flat called and the remaining players folded.

The KQQ flop hit the felt and the original raiser continued for 35,000. Silverman called.

The 8 hit the turn and action checked through to a K river. The early position player checked and Silverman only went into the tank for a moment before betting 110,000. The early position player tanked but eventually called and got the bad news.

Silverman hit quads by playing trappy with KK and got some much needed value on the river.

O'Connell Over-Bets

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was opened from the cutoff to 35,000 by Drew O'Connell. It folded to the big blind who called.

The K10K flop hit the felt and the big blind check-called a 25,000 bet from O'Connell. The turn brought a 5 and action checked through to a K river.

The big blind checked again and O'Connell went into the tank. He did some accounting of his chips and after a few moments he gathered enough chips to put in an over-bet to the tune of 220,000.

Unfortunately, he got a snap-fold but still dragged a decent pot just before break.
