Tardif Hits Quads For the Good of Ontario
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Patrick Tardif was all in and at risk for 2,200,000 against fellow Ontario resident Pavel Dyachenko.
Patrick Tardif: Q♠Q♣
Pavel Dyachenko: A♠K♣
The flop landed Q♦10♠3♣ to improve Tardif to a set but to give Dyachenko hope with a Broadway draw. That hope was crushed as the Q♥ peeled off on the turn to give Tardif quads and the 7♣ river changed nothing to earn him a double.
"At least if you win, it will bring people to Ontario," Dyachenko said optimistically.
