Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On the table of Dara "Doke" O'Kearney and Kristijonas Andrulis, a big pot emerged. A player that had just arrived with an above-average stack got into a big pot with Colin Robinson and the latter ended up shoving the river of a board . His opponent had bet and called the shove with ace-king only to get shown for quads by Robinson.

The stacks were counted and Robinson had 77,100, which covered the other player. "I was hoping he had a hand like kings," Robinson added, delighted with the outcome of the hand.

Colin Robinson	185,000 135,600	135,600
Dara O'Kearney	140,000 15,000	15,000

The river brought the and Wallace moved all-in having his opponent covered. His opponent went into the tank with his tournament life on the line and around 24,500 in front of him.

There was no action for over two minutes and another player on the table chose to call the clock. Once the floor was called over, Wallace's opponent threw in chips for a call and Wallace tabled . His opponent mucked his hand and took off through the Amazon Room doors before the pot could even be shipped Wallace's way.
