Aksu Makes Kings Full as Chegdane Folds What Would've Been Quads

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ibrahim Aksu
Ibrahim Aksu

In a hand that made the table go nuts, Ibrahim Aksu opened from the cutoff and Benjamin Pollak three-bet jammed a stack of around 350,000 from the small blind.

Said Chegdane then went into the tank for over a minute in the big blind before folding, while Aksu called with a bigger stack. Ahead of the runout, Chegdane said he made a big laydown with jacks.

Benjamin Pollak: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Ibrahim Aksu: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Chegdane had apparently made the right laydown and the flop came {7-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, which would have given him a set to still be behind the set of Cowboys of Aksu. However, the board then finished out {7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Chegdane stared with glazed-over eyes at the board that would've given him quads.

Someone at the table attempted to grab the muck to see if Chegdane had indeed folded jacks before the dealer stopped them. But Chegdane's face said it all.

"I believe him. He looks like he wants to kill himself!" exclaimed Giuliano Bendinelli.

In the middle of all the excitement, Pollak quietly hit the rail.
