Parssinen Backdoors Quads
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a board of J♠4♠3♥8♣8♥, there were over 400,000 chips in the pot when Krasimir Yankov checked to Eelis Parssinen, who announced a bet of 280,000. Yankov mulled it over for a while but eventually tossed in the call.
"I have a pretty good hand," remarked Parssinen before he revealed Q♠8♠8♦4♦ for quads.
Yankov didn't want to let go of his hand and rechecked his cards before eventually releasing them back to the dealer.
