On blinds of 4,000/8,000, "Cholie" shoved their 200,000 stack into the middle from the button and Daniel "leinad" Buzgon shoved over the top. Everyone else ducked out and the two tabled their hands.

"Cholie": {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Daniel "leinad" Buzgon: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Buzgon was in rough shape until the {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop landed on the virtual felt, giving him a set of sevens. The {7-Hearts} turn card made it quads and he now had "Cholie" drawing dead to the {3-Diamonds} river with his four hockey sticks.
