Quads Redemption for Kapeller
After losing around 230,000 chips to Barak Oz in the previous hand, Siegfried Kapeller bounced back with style. Sitting under the gun, Kapeller opened to 120,000 and picked up calls from Oz in the small blind and Jaehyung Park in the big blind.
The flop brought J♣J♥J♦, and all three players opted to check, keeping the pot controlled.
On the 7♦ turn, Park seized the initiative, leading out for 85,000. Kapeller was the only caller, and they went heads-up to the river.
The 6♣ appeared on the river, prompting another quick bet from Park, this time for 90,000. Kapeller took his time before raising to 210,000, leaving himself with about 490,000 behind. Park mulled over the decision, burning a time bank card before eventually making the call.
Kapeller revealed K♥J♠ for quad jacks, scooping the pot in dramatic fashion and signaling his comeback.
