Fours Rule But Sixes are the Worst

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The players at the table informed PokerNews that pocket fours have been consistently winning. William Clark had been attempting to build a bigger stack and moved all in for 39,000 and the player in the small blind saw pocket sixes and figured it was close to fours so he would attempt a call and called with the lesser stack of 32,000. Unfortunately sixes did not have the same luck as fours.

Small blind: 6♠6♦ All in
William Clark: A♣8♥

The board ran out with 2♦10♣3♦8♥9♥ and Clark had built a bigger stack.
