Gibson Hollywoods with Quads

Connor Richards

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Toby Gibson played a big pot against Manuel Machado on a board of 10♣10♠7♣10♥3♣.

With several hundred thousand already in the middle, Machado faced a bet of 1,000,000 from Gibson and called, only to muck as Gibson announced quads and showed 10♦J♦.

"Let me get a picture," Gibson said before raking in the pot.

Someone at the table noted that Gibson had asked about a pay jump earlier in the hand despite having the nuts.

"I had to!" the Indiana factory worker said. "That's part of the game."

Christian Zetzsche

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tomas Szwarcberg three-bet to 450,000 preflop and was called by Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni, who then check-folded the Q♣8♣6♦ flop to a bet.

Shortly after, Iaron Lightbourne raised to 225,000 and fellow Brit Abdullah Al-Shanti three-bet to 625,000 in the small blind. Lightbourne clicked it back to 1,175,000 and then called the clock on his opponent after a mere 45 seconds. "Best I can do for you mate," Lightbourne grinned.

Al-Shanti was given more time before the extra 30 seconds kicked in and he then mucked, exposing an ace first.

"Show me both and I will show mine," Lightbourne said. Al-Shanti exposed the A♥7♠ and was shown the K♣K♦ by Lightbourne.

They went back and forth with more banter and Lightbourne was all smiles after further boosting his stack.

Jason James and Stephen Song were enjoying the show from up close and could barely stop laughing.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Bradley Mercer raised to 175,000 from under the gun, but Kristen Foxen in the cutoff three-bet to 500,000. The blinds folded and Mercer shoved for 2,655,000. Foxen asked for the count and called.

Bradley Mercer: K♦K♣ All in
Kristen Foxen: A♦K♥

Mercer was on the edge of elimination after Foxen hit top pair on 10♠A♣6♦. But he saw the K♠ turn landing on the felt to save him, and he doubled up after the 2♠ river.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 2♣3♠10♠, Guillermo Sanchez Otero bet 350,000 from the big blind and Kevin Theodore called in the hijack.

The turn was the 6♣ and Sanchez Otero bet another 750,000. Theodore again called and the Q♣ fell on the river.

Sanchez Otero slowed down and checked, and Theodore quickly checked back as Sanchez Otero showed A♦10♣ for a pair of tens. Theodore mucked.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alex Keating opened to 210,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 625,000 by Joseph Bold in the cutoff. Jordan Griff then four-bet to approximately 1,700,000 from the small blind, leaving himself just 200,000 behind.

Keating quickly got out of the way and Bold went all in. Griff called off his remaining chips and a showdown was held.

Jordan Griff: A♣Q♥ All in
Joseph Bold: Q♣Q♠

Griff would need some help, and it came immediately on the A♦10♠2♥ flop — pairing Griff's ace and leaving Bold drawing slim.

The 3♦8♦ turn and river changed nothing and Griff doubled up through Bold.
