Death by Quads
Level 4
: Blinds 800/1,600, 160 ante
"Elkku35" opened to 4,800 in the cutoff. After Espen "locomi" Myrmo made the call on the button, "Levoin95" reraised to 20,800 from the small blind. Both players called.
On the K♦Q♣2♥ flop, "Elkku35" opened to 32,400. Myrmo put in a raise to 162,000, prompting a fold from "Levoin95". "Elkku35" moved all in for slightly more, a total of 196,089. Myrmo made the call, covering his opponent.
"Elkku35": A♥Q♠J♣10♣
Espen "locomi" Myrmo: K♠Q♥2♣2♠
It was essentially a coin flip, with the slightest of edges to Myrmo. The J♦ turn put "Elkku35" into a commanding lead with Broadway, but the 2♦ river gave Myrmo quads, enough to eliminate his opponent.
