Assouline Saved by Quads
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action caught up with the cards on their backs in an all-in hand between Alexander Assouline in early position and a player in the big blind, with Assouline all in for 111,000.
Alexander Assouline: 7♥7♣
Big Blind Player: 8♦8♣
Assouline's fate looked bleak after running into his opponent's overpair, and the Q♣2♦A♥ flop offered no additional help.
However, magic would strike on the 7♠ turn and just in case there was any doubt, the remaining 7♦ showed up on the river, giving Assouline the full double-up and new hope.
