Siena Flops a Miracle

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Alessandro Siena moved all in from under the gun for 47,500 and action folded around to Gergely Kulcsar in the small blind who snap-called. The cards were then tabled, with Siena at risk.

Alessandro Siena: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Gergely Kulcsar: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Siena sighed when he realized what he was up against, but his tune quickly changed when the flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to give him quads.

"I still have outs!" exclaimed Kulcsar who took the beat better than most would, and the {5-Clubs} on the turn left him drawing dead.

The board completed with the meaningless {k-Diamonds} and Siena was awarded the pot for a full double up.
