Death by Quads for Pillon
Level 2
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
David Cowling opened to 18,000 from under the gun and was called by a player in middle position. Marc MacDonnell called from the hijack along with Aleks Dimitrov on the button. James Pillon re-raised to 110,000 from the small blind which got called by Cowling, MacDonnell, and Dimitrov.
The flop fell 
and Pillon pushed all in for around 550,000. Cowling and MacDonnell both quickly folded but Dimitrov snap-called to put Pillon at risk.
Dimitrov: 
Pillon: 
Pillon was drawing nearly dead after flopping top pair against Dimitrov's set of tens. The 
on the turn gave Dimitrov quads and Pillon headed for the exit.
