One Outer For Reeves on Sick Runout

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A loud reaction from a table caught the attention of PokerNews and it was definitely warranted.

Josh Reeves had a player at risk with most of his chips in the middle.

All-in Player: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Josh Reeves: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Reeves was way in rough shape against the overpair, but he hit a set on the {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop.

The tables turned when the {q-Spades} spiked on the turn his opponent made a better set.

It wasn't over however as the last eight in the deck {8-Clubs} fell on the river to give Reeves quads as the table looked on in disgust.
