Donnini Back in Control After Hitting Quads
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Danilo Donnini made the minimum raise to 2,400,000 in the cutoff with 6♠3♠. Narcis Nedelcu was the only interested party at the table, as he called A♥J♦ in the small blind.
Donnini flopped trips on 3♥8♥3♣ and continued with a bet of 2,800,000. Nedelcu check-called his overcards, and the 3♦ appeared on the turn.
Donnini decided to slow-play his turned quads and checked back when Nedelcu knuckled the table again. Nedelcu then checked a third time on the Q♠ river, seeing Donnini pile in a huge bet of 11,800,000.
Nedelcu gave his ace-high some thought, but ended up correctly folding his cards. Donnini was shipped the pot and soared across the 80-million mark.
