Gramatikov Flops Quads to Knockout Opponent
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Emil Gramatikov opened from early position for 1,800. The big blind put in a raise to 7,500. Gramatikov called, and the pair went heads-up to the flop.
On the 
flop, the big blind continued for 4,000. Gramatikov put in the call.
The 
came on the turn, and the big blind sized up and fired another barrel, this time for 12,000. After a moment or two of thought, Gramatikov put in the call.
The 
river was checked by the big blind, before Gramatikov moved all in. His opponent had the effective stack of around 20,000. The big blind was in visible distress as he took several minutes to make up his mind. Eventually, he made the call and put all of his chips in the middle.
Gramatikov turned over 
for quads, as his opponent showed 
. The opponent was clearly frustrated, but wished the table good luck as he departed and Gramatikov scooped the pot.

turn but Duong nailed the 
river to score the double knockout, sending future NFL hall of famer Campbell home short of the money.

flop and turn. Gerhart was not prepared to check it all the way down, however, leading out for 4,000 on the board pairing river. That bet was all the coaxing his opponent needed to muck his holding and send the pot Gerhart's way.
