Istomin Makes Unnessecary Quads
Level 7
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aleksei Istomin raised to 11,000 in the cutoff, being called by the player in the hijack. The small blind then three-bet to 31,000, which Istomin called. The hijack got out of the way, after which the 7♠4♦2♣ flop was checked by both.
The small blind then fired 25,000 on the Q♣ turn, which Istomin raised to 50,000. The small blind shoved all in for not much more, with Isomin making a quick call.
Small blind: A♠Q♠ 
Aleksei Istomin: 4♠4♥
The small blind was already drawing dead against the set of Istomin, who took down the pot in style with the 4♣ river, bringing him four of a kind.
