Varonen Flops "Quads", Then Doubles on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Lauri Varonen raised to 240,000 in the hijack and Andriy Lyubovetskiy called under the gun after limping in.
The flop came A♠7♠10♣ and Varonen potted to 680,000. Lyubovetskiy called and the 6♣ fell on the turn. Lyubovetskiy then moved all in and Varonen called for 145,000.
"I have quads," Varonen said, showing A♣A♥A♦2♥ for top set. Lyubovetskiy had J♥9♦8♥8♦ for a turned straight, but the 7♦ fell on the river to give Varonen a straight and the double up.
"Quads is better than a straight, anyway," Taago Tamm said.
