Level 33
: 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
A big pot developed between Calvin Anderson and Dan Matsuzuki, in which every street was bet, and the river proved as dramatic as possible. Anderson raised in position preflop to 550,000 , called by Matsuzuki in the blinds. Matsuzuki checked all three streets, calling a bet of 400,000 on the 
flop and 800,000 on the 
turn. On the 
river, however, Matsuzuki check-raised Anderson's bet of 1,575,000 all in, for a total of 2,590,000. Anderson asked for a count and threw in the extra million and change.
Matsuzuki, with 
, had flopped quads, and Anderson with 
had rivered nines full of kings.
"What a river," he said, as he paid Matsuzuki a full double up.
