Quads for Pedersen
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A pot of 54,000 had arisen on a flop of 9♠2♦2♥ in a four-way pot. Manuel Janas, who appeared likely to have been the preflop raiser, fired out a bet of 15,000, and only Martin Pedersen called from the small blind.
On the 9♦ turn, Pedersen check-called a bet of 38,500 from Janas.
The Q♦ river completed the board, and Pedersen changed tact, leading out with a bet of 40,000. Janas was confused by the move, and spent at least three minutes grimacing, throwing his hands up in the air, and staring at the board.
Eventually he said "Ace-Queen? Sorry guys", and then folded after a bit more thought. Janas asked again, and Pedersen tabled 9♥9♣ for quads. Janas claimed he folded jacks.
