Kobe Regains the Lead With Quads
Level 24
: Blinds 0/0, 200,000 ante
Aori opened to 1,100,000 and Kobe defended the button to see a flop of 10♦8♥7♥. Aori checked and Kobe bet 1,500,000 only for Aori to move all-in and receive a snap-call.
Kobe: 8♠8♣
Aori: J♣10♥
Kobe's set was ahead and he only needed to fear a nine or running jacks and tens. The K♣ turn took away the latter option and the crowd then gasped an "ohhhhh" when Kobe made quads with the 8♦ river. His double was for 9,500,000 and Kobe leaped back into a two-to-one lead.
