Convey Makes Quads With Kings vs. Queens vs. Aces vs. Aces All In Preflop

Webjoker

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

With Monte Carlo Championship winner Raffaele Sorrentino and high-stakes regulars Sergi Reixach, Jaoa Vieira, and Jason Les at the table, former poker reporter Marc Convey has anything but an easy table. Still, he doesn't have a great deal to worry about, as he's top dog with a massive stack of 65,000 chips in front of him.

Convey relayed a hand that was largely to credit for his fortunate situation, and it was an amazing one. It might be the hand of the tournament, and it's only Day 1.

A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 900. Convey, seated in the hijack, three-bet to 2,600. His three neighbors — the cutoff, button, and small blind — all shoved in rapid succession. Vieira folded in the big blind, and action was on Convey.

Convey held and needed about six seconds to make up his mind. He glanced at the stacks that had just been shoved to the middle and he called as soon as he found out he had the biggest of them all, covering everyone by about 10,000.

Convey figured that one of them might have aces and hoped it was one of the smaller ones. He turned out to be right. Partially.

All the cards were tabled, and Convey was not up against just a single pair of aces; two of his opponents had aces! One of them showed , and the other showed . The third opponent was trailing all of them but had a big hand of his own, showing .

Kings versus queens versus aces versus aces — a hand you usually only see in bad poker movies where the script writer doesn't know much more about the game than the basics. But here it was, live in the flesh, at the biggest poker tournament in the world: the World Series of Poker.

As if the situation wasn't crazy enough just yet, the board upped the ante.

The flop came , improving both the queens and Convey with the kings. Runner-runner straight for the aces and runner-runner flush for one of them was still a possibility, and the case queen hitting the board wasn't out of the realm of possibility either.

The hit the turn, leaving just a single out in the deck to ruin Convey's amazing hand. The last queen stayed in the deck. Instead, the hit, giving Convey quads.

Three players hit the rail. All Convey had to do was stack his newfound chips. That took him some time though, as the pot was huge.

"I honestly would've thought about folding," Convey said, "if one of them had a bigger stack."

"I was pretty sure one of them had aces," Convey continued, "I just wished it was one of the smaller stacks."

With Convey covering all of them by some margin, that didn't happen. And you can bet that Convey has no regrets now. The tournament has just started, the money is levels away, but the man from London already has an anecdote to tell for years.
