Death by Quads

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

Fresh off the bat of a hot run yesterday, Guy Haviv was looking to continue his streak as he raised to 20,000 under the gun. He received two callers, including Yusheng Lin, who defended his big blind.

On a flop of 3♦7♦5♣, Lin then took the initiative, betting 55,000 before Haviv instantly raised to 143,000. The third player got out of the way, and Lin took his time to think before shoving for not much more.

"I have a set," announced Haviv as he called.

Yusheng Lin: 9♦9♥ All in
Guy Haviv: 3♠3♥

As if the set wasn't enough, Haviv rivered quads on the 10♣3♣ runout to secure the elimination, and continue his sun run.

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

Lucas Jumalon opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from the hijack, before Quang Tran shoved for 64,000 on the button. Jumalon asked how much, and called.

Quang Tran: 7♥7♦ All in
Lucas Jumalon: K♥J♥

Jumalon took the lead on the J♦5♥9♠ flop, and kept it through to the end of the A♥5♦ runout. "And they say it's a skill game," he said, while scooping the pot

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

Erik Mason opened the action with a shove from the hijack, for a total of 85,000. Thomas Bolton then called in the cutoff, before Kfir Nahum cut out a reraise to 200,000. Bolton then folded.

Erik Mason: J♠J♥ All in
Kfir Nahum: 10♥10♦

Mason was ahead, but still had his phone out, ready to record in case of a bad beat. As if he knew it was coming, he let out a knowing smile as the 9♣10♠5♠ flop put his opponent well in the lead. The Q♦ turn improved him to more outs, but they bricked on the 7♦ river.

"For a triple up, as well!" he said in disbelief as he left the tournament area.

Kfir Nahum	948,000 194,000	194,000
Thomas Bolton	279,000 139,000	139,000
