Royal Flush Over Quads

Tyler Boyer

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Daniele Nestola in the small blind, who raised, and Max Kruse three-bet all in for 300,000 from the big blind. Nestola quickly called to put Kruse at risk.

Max Kruse: A♥J♥ All in
Daniele Nestola: K♠K♦

Kruse needed to improve to crack the kings of Nestola, and when the flop came Q♥K♥10♥ he flopped a Royal Flush which made the table erupt with yells.

Nestola was drawing dead with his set of kings, and to add insult to injury, the turn was the 3♦ followed by the K♣ on the river to give him quads.

After the excitement settled, Kruse took in the pot after his Royal Flush gave him the double-up.

Betito Fades a Ton of Outs

Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The button raised off a short stack and Liran Betito called out of the small blind.

On the J♣9♦J♦ flop, Betito check-called the shove of the button who had 180,000 chips remaining.

Button: Q♦10♦ All in
Liran Betito: 7♥7♣

Betito had the best hand but had to fade a lot of outs as his opponent had both straight and flush draws, plus overcard outs. The 4♣ turn was a brick, as was the J♠ turn which meant the button was eliminated and Betito boosted his stack to well over two million chips.
