Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The details of this hand were recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.
Brian Orrico and Robert Hoag duked it out in a hand that neither player is likely going to forget about anytime soon.
The players had already built the pot up to over 20,000 by the time they reached the river of a board that read 9x9x9xQxQx.
Hoag checked his option before Orrico went all-in for approximately 17,000. Hoag snap-called, and they went to a showdown with a full house showing on the board.
Orrico tabled 9x8x for a flopped four of a kind of nines. Surprisingly, this was not enough to take down the pot as Hoag showed QxQx for runner-runner quads that left the table buzzing.
