Feinberg Hits Quads, Harrington Dodges a Bullet
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Mark Feinberg gave PokerNews the details of a hand that resulted in Feinberg doubling up to 42,000, with Brent Harrington avoiding disaster.
The hand began with an under-the-gun limp, calls from Harrington on the button, and Rafi Azam in the small blind.
Feinberg raised to 3,800, and the under-the-gun player limp-shoved for 18,000. Harrington went into the tank for awhile, then folded, and Azam also folded. Feinberg made the call.
Mark Feinberg: 
Under the Gun: 
Board: 
The river brought in quad queens for Feinberg on a runout that couldn't have gone better for his hand.
Harrington later said that the hand he was tanking on was pocket eights, which would have brought in a losing set of eights for Harrington.
