Quad Aces for Codding

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
John Codding
John Codding

John Codding, Ray Villaman and Craig Varnell went three ways to the turn on a {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} board. The action checked to Villaman on the hijack, who bet 800. Varnell folded from the small blind, and Codding made the call on Villaman's direct left.

The river came {9-Spades}, and Codding led out for 2,500. Villaman thought it over for a bit before making the fold, and saw that it was indeed a good fold when Codding turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} for quad aces.

"I was pretty comfortable after the flop," Codding said, and also mentioned that this was the first time he's ever held four aces.
