Wazwaz Benefits from Quads Twice Against Liu

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Rob Wazwaz
Rob Wazwaz

MSPT Hall of Famer Rob Wazwaz is off to quit the hot start hitting quads twice in the same level against another Minnesota legend Peixin Liu.

Wazwaz's first double-up from Lui came on a {2-}{2-}{a-}{a-}{x-} board with the money getting in the middle after the turn.
Wazwaz held {2-}{2-} and Liu held {a-}{k-}, getting Wazwaz back to a starting stack.

Shortly after, the two would tussle once again with chips getting into the middle on a {2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board.

Peixin Liu: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Rob Wazwaz: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Liu was left drawing dead after Wazwaz flopped a set of threes and the dealer dropped the case {3-Clubs} on the river giving Wazwaz quads once again against Liu.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Paul Eidem

There was all in action after a {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop between Paul Eidem from the hijack and Carl Carodenuto from the cutoff.

Paul Eidem: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Carodenuto: {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Eidem was ahead with his made hand of queens and even though the {6-Hearts} turn paired Carodenuto, it was enough to seal him the pot as the {9-Diamonds} river secured Eidem his double for 32,600.
