Abillama Rivers Quads to Double Up

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Chady Abillama opened to 75,000 and was called by five of his tablemates including Alexandre Ruest. The flop was {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Abillama moved all-in first to act.

Ruest re-raised all-in, covering Abillama and the rest of the table folded.

Abillama: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Ruest: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Abillama's set of fives was good so far but Ruest made his flush with the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. Abillama needed the board to pair in order to take the pot and the river brought the best pair he could ask for, the {5-Diamonds}, giving him quad fives and more importantly, a huge double up.

Abillama's all-in was cut down, totalling 821,000 and Ruest was forced to slide the majority of his stack across the table.
