Noel Backdoors Quads to Stay Alive

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Hyung Cho was under the gun and raised to 525,000. When the action got to Bobby Noel on the button he moved all in for 2,500,000. Cho called quick and they flipped their cards over.

Hyung Cho: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Bobby Noel: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

It was a classic coin flip and Cho jumped out to the lead when it came {5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. But the {q-Spades} on the turn locked up the hand for Noel. The meaningless {q-Diamonds} river improved Noel to quads and sent the 5,300,000 chip pot his way.

Keven Stammen: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Cho paired his five on the {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop which gave him some hope heading to the turn and river. But the board bricked out {q-Spades} and {10-Clubs} to give Stammen another double.

Keven Stammen: {10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Erik Koch: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Stammen would need to hit a ten to stay alive, and thats just what he did when the flop came {10-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Koch picked up a gut shot on the {q-Diamonds} turn. But the river was a blank {6-Clubs}.

Dapreesch Scates

Action folded to Bobby Noel in the small blind and he moved all in to put the pressure on Dapreesch Scates, who called off for 1.6 million from the big.

Bobby Noel: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Scates was ahead but disaster struck when the flop fell {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. The {4-Spades} turn left Scates looking for an ace on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the {j-Diamonds} improved Noel to two pair.
