Cameron Loses To Quads... Again

Mike Cameron has just lost to quads... again. This time on the {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs} board, Cameron moved all in against Will "The Thrill" Failla, but was met with a snap-call.

Failla held the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} for quad fives and Cameron was in disbelief, again, that he had run into quads. Cameron only showed two cards, the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a full house on the turn.

Before the last break, Cameron lost to Mohsin Charania in a quads-over-quads battle. Still, Cameron has chips, but things just don't seem to be going his way.

"Bad Luck" Busts Staszko

Tristan Clemencon opened to 800 from early position, and three players called, including Bryn Kenney on the button, and Martin Staszko from the small blind. The flop came down {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and the action checked to Kenney, who tossed 2,000 forw. Staszko potted, making it 9,600, and Clemencon re-potted. The action folded back to Staszko, who called all in.

Staszko{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Clemencon{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

The turn and river came {q-Clubs}, {3-Diamonds} respectively, and Clemencon won the pot.

"Bad luck," Staszko muttered, then left.

When we reached Table 5, Mohsin Charania and Mike Cameron were heads up with the board reading {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Charania check-called a bet of 7,600, and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board. Charania checked, and Cameron fired 16,500.

"Pot," Charania announced after thirty seconds or so.

Cameron quickly re-potted, and Charania got the rest of his chips in the middle. Charania tabled {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for quad eights, and to the astonishment if everyone, Cameron tabled {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for quad fours.

"Sorry man," Charania told him.

Charania doubled to around 140,000 chips, while Cameron was cut down to about 70,000.
