Quads on Board Steal a Pot from Antonius
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We usually don't write chopped pots, but this one was quite unique.
It happened over at Table 10 when Patrik Antonius opened for 9,000 on the button. A short-stacked player then moved all in for 63,500 from the button, the blinds folded, and Antonius made the call.

Button:
The Finn had his opponent dominated and the flop was safe enough. The button could still win with a ten and could chop if the board either paired the seven or came running threes. Well, a ten didn't show up, and neither did the seven. Instead, the improbable happened as the peeled off on the turn followed by the on the river. Both Antonius and his opponent had quads and their aces meant it was a chopped pot.
