Mamut Doubles with Quads
Jihoon Kim kicked things off with an under-the-gun raise to 210,000. Sitting right next to him, Nikolai Mamut moved all in for 1,320,000. Action folded to Honcheong Lee, who reshoved for around 1,230,000, putting the decision back on Kim.
Faced with two all-ins ahead, Kim hesitated and tried to lighten the moment by asking the table, "If I open-fold, can you teach me a bit?" The table responded with a round of head shakes, drawing a laugh from Kim as he added, "No free lesson?"
In the end, Kim laid it down, showing 6♠6♦. That left Mamut and Lee to battle it out.
Honcheong Lee: A♦Q♦
Nikolai Mamut: J♠J♦
Lee was looking to improve, but the board came J♣4♣5♦4♥J♥, giving Mamut a full house on the turn and quads on the river. He scored a massive double and stayed alive, while Lee’s run came to a sudden end.
