McKola's Aces Cracked by Quads
Level 9
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Serafino Aloe raised to 1,600 in the cutoff. Adam McKola put in a three-bet to 4,000 from the small blind, which Aloe called. McKola continued for 5,000 on the 5♥8♣7♣ flop, seeing Aloe toss in more calling chips.
McKola doubled his sizing on the 8♦ turn to 10,000 but could not shake Aloe yet as the Italian player called again. The 2♣ river slowed down McKola as he checked to Aloe.
Aloe prepared a bet of 30,000 and gently put it in the middle. McKola mulled things over before he put in a call.
Aloe tabled 8♠8♥ for quad eights. McKola could only laugh and compliment his opponent's hand as he showed AxAx and paid his dues.
