Ward Doubles Through Mazilu with Rivered Quads in Huge Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Picking the action up on a flop of 8♥7♦9♦ in a battle between the two big stacks at the table, John Ward put out a bet of 8,000, only to be three-bet to 35,000 by Mihal Mazilu.
After some thought Ward announced he was all in for 198,000 and Mazilu immediately made the call to create a monster pot, with Ward at risk.
John Ward: 8♦8♣
Mihal Mazilu: J♦10♥
In an absolute cooler, Ward had flopped middle set only to run into the made jack high straight of Mazilu.
Ward still had outs, and although the 6♦ turn did not alter matters, the 8♠ river gave Ward quad eights and sent him a huge pot.
As Ward thanked the dealer Mazilu looked stunned, but he still has a reasonable stack to work with.
