Williams Cooked by Quads Then Rebuys

Level 2 : 200/300, 0 ante
David Williams
David Williams

There were three players that saw a {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} flop and action was checked to David Williams who fired out a pot-sized 3,000 bet from the cutoff.

Action was on Jeffrey Brunelle who raised to 10,000 from the button and Williams three-bet jammed after the big blindfolded.

Brunelle called and the two players tabled their hands.

David Williams: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Jeffrey Brunelle: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Williams was way behind needing to complete his open-ended straight draw after Brunelle flopped top set but the {2-Diamonds} turn was no help.

Williams needed a jack or six on the river to stay alive but instead, it came the {10-Diamonds}, improving Brunelle to quads and he reentered the tournament shortly after.
