Bob Chow Chips Up With Quad Aces

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With the board reading {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and over 44,000 chips already in the pot, Bob Chow heard his opponent say exactly what he wanted hear, declaring "I'm all-in." The stack at risk was over 80,000, representing a significant overbet of the pot, but Chow did not need to calculate pot odds or anything else for that matter.

Chow snap-called and proudly turned over his {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} for quad aces, while his stunned opponent showed down {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Both Chow and the other had flopped their sets, but Chow held the more powerful pair in the hole and after the turn, he couldn't be beaten.

This win propelled Chow to 146,000 in chips while his opponent hit the rail wondering how he could have played the hand any differently.
