Lo Doubles With Quads

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jacek Pustula eventually lost the remainder of his short stack and Chino Rheem then pushed all-in out of the small blind into the big blind of Wai Lo.

"I assure you, you are ahead ... just take your time," Rheem said while Lo glanced a few times at the tournament clock to see possible pay jumps. Lo then called for the 260,000 he had behind.

Wai Lo: 4♦4♣
Chino Rheem: 8♦7♠

The flip went to Lo as he proceeded to make quads on the K♦Q♣4♠4♥J♦ board.

Moments later, Guoliang Wei and Shant Marashliuan were eliminated before Lo's table lost Thai Ha. Only 34 players remain and that number will decrease very soon.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Oya got to work immediately and tangled with William Liang. On a Q♥J♥J♦ flop, Liang checked and Oya bet 30,000 into a pot of 110,000 to win the pot uncontested.
