Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a flop of Q♠Q♣2♥, Julien Perouse check-called a bet of 4,000 by Hayden Toole and checked again the 8♥ turn. Toole bet 20,000 with little behind and Perouse jammed, Toole called it off.

Hayden Toole: 10♠10♥
Julien Perouse: K♥Q♥

Toole had just two outs but instead, it was Perouse who improved to quads with the Q♦ river.

"What is your alias online?" Arash Shahi inquired and Perouse grinned back "Giuseppe".

"Wait, you are Giuseppe? Fuck ... okay, we need to get a picture," Shah joked back and grabbed his smart phone.

Shah also mentioned that Perouse had flipped out Derek Whelan with ace-king versus jacks with another player claiming to have folded kings.

Michael Sklenicka then arrived with a fresh stack and asked if Perouse could give him some run-good chips.

As the hand concluded, Lexy Gavin-Mather passed by and remarked "kill me now ... I bricked an open ended royal flush draw".

The action folded all the way to Gavin Andreanoff on the button who raised to 2,500 and was promptly met with a three-bet from Steven "Cuz" Buckner in the small blind to 6,500.

Andreanoff thought it over but folded fairly quickly. Buckner showed down the 7♣7♥ to scoop after what appears to be a good raise with the best hand.
