Just Quads For Ding
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Biao Ding raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Tom Orpaz defended his big blind.
The two players checked to the river on a board of K♥Q♠K♦6♥10♠ when Orpaz led out for 100,000. Ding then raised to 250,000 and Orpaz quickly called.
Ding turned over K♣K♠ for flopped quads and Orpaz flashed the Q♥ as he mucked.
Orpaz got some of those chips back the next hand when he three-bet to 200,000 from the small blind. Erik Seidel called under the gun to see the 8♦7♥9♦ flop, where Orpaz instantly moved all in.
Seidel, with around 600,000 back, tanked for a few seconds before mucking. "Good fold. Didn't want to see an ace," Orpaz said.
