Weng Avoids a Brutal Beat
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chien Chih Weng started the day with 114,000, but that had dwindled down just over 15 big blinds before she managed to double up.
Ryuta Nakai raised the cutoff and then called the shove of Weng, who was in the big blind with 31,000.
Chien Chih Weng: 10♥10♣ 
Ryuta Nakai: 7♦7♠
Weng improved to middle set on the 4♥K♠10♦ flop to essentially lock it up, but Nakai also made a set on the 7♣ turn to give himself a singe out. Running quads isn't something you see every day, and it didn't happen in this case as the A♣ river meant Weng doubled up.
