Esquivel Lays it Down to Quads

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the river as a large pot of a little more than 50,000 was brewing in the middle. The board read {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Michael Esquivel was first to act. He waited several moments before checking deliberately. Steven Stout was his opponent and he thought for a few seconds before announcing all in for his remaining 31,600.

Esquivel got a count and went into the tank. After about 20 seconds he folded. Stout turned over the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for quad sevens, assuring Esquivel that he made the right fold.

Friedman Helpful on His Exit

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Adam Friedman was seen standing up as all of his chips were gone from in front of him, his losing hand discarded. Two players were chopping up the pot as the board read {5-}{3-}{2-}{6-}{7-} and both players had {a-}{4-} suited.

Despite being busted, Friedman stuck around for a while to assist the dealer in dividing the pot to make sure no mistakes were made, eventually the situation was settled and he walked straight to re-buy table to re-enter the event.

Meier "Schutt" Down

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Action was on the turn with the board reading {2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Dylan Meier bet 13,000 into a healthy pot. Timothy Schutt moved all in and Meier quickly called.

Schutt turned over the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Meier was dismayed and half-heartedly tabled his own {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Only a river queen could save Meier but instead the {a-Hearts} came off and Schutt gave a bit of a celebration as the dealer confirmed that Meier was covered.
