Vieira Suffers Nasty Bad Beat

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Joao Vieira (as seen in a previous event)

Joao Vieira was in a three-way pot on the flop of {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. A player fired 700 from an early position and received a call from an opponent in a middle position. Vieira then raised to 2,550 in the cutoff.

The initial aggressor kept pushing and four-bet to what was believed to be announced as 7,800. The middle player folded but Vieira paused for a bit and then shoved. He was called instantly to learn some great news as his {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} was miles ahead against the {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

The turn card, however, was the {2-Hearts}, giving Vieira's opponent quads and Vieira wasn't able to pick up a nine on the river. He had to ship 18,625 the opposite way and dropped to 10,000 instead of pumping his stack early into the tournament.
