Ayoub Bests Balinca With Quads
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Erjat Balinca took a small hit to the stack not long ago when he squeezed to 2,600 and folded to a reraise to 6,850.
Soon after he was involved in yet another pot from the small blind, having called a raise to 800 by Jules Ayoub in the cutoff along with one further player. Balinca was the only one to check-call a bet of 2,000 on the 
flop and did so again on the 
turn for an unknown amount.
The 
river completed the board and Balinca led for 3,200, Ayoub raised to 12,000 and was called to turn over 
for quads.
