Michael Hits Quads to Survive
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Angelos Michael opened from the hijack to 40,000 and Simone Andrian three-bet from the button to 100,000. Once the blinds folded, Michael shoved for 375,000, and Andrian quickly called.
Angelos Michael: 6♦6♥
Simone Andrian: 10♦10♠
It looked to be the end of the road for Michael, but he hit a set on the 6♣5♣A♥ flop to surge into the lead. Andrian needed to find a ten but the 2♠ turn was a complete brick, and the 6♠ river improved Michael to quads just for good measure.
