"There are a lot of Fours in the Deck"

Level 35 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Yun Choi was in the cutoff and moved all in for 2,000,000 effective and Mike Matusow called from the button.

Matusow said matter of factly when he saw Choi's cards, "That's ok there are a lot of fours in the deck".

Mike Matusow: A♣4♦ All in
Yun Choi: A♦9♣

Sure enough the board came out with 2♦4♣Q♥J♥4♠ and Matusow was served a nice pot with his trip fours.

Two hands led to Tommy Nguyen's elimination:

Nguyen raised from the cutoff to 800,000 and David Cabrera Polop three-bet all in for 2,825,000. Nguyen thought long and hard and finally made the call reluctantly.

David Cabrera Polop: 9♦9♠ All in
Tommy Nguyen: A♠6♥

The board went 2♣K♦4♦6♣Q♦ and the nines held to double up Polop and damage Nguyen.

On the second hand Nguyen moved all in from middle position for 5,150,000 and Stanislav Zegal called from the hijack.

Tommy Nguyen: 7♦7♣ All in
Stanislav Zegal: K♠K♥

Unfortunately Nguyen ran into kings and he did not improve on the board of Q♥3♦10♣6♥8♣ and the pair of kings won the pot.

According to the players, action started with a raise by the player in the hijack. Eric Penner was in the cutoff and went all in. The button and small blind folded. Lexy Gavin-Mather was in the big blind and reraised all in. Original raiser folded and Penner was the player at risk.

Eric Penner: 7♥7♣All in
Lexy Gavin-Mather: 10♦10♣

The flop was great for Gavin-Mather, it came 8♥10♠4♠, giving her top set.

Penner was drawing very thin, but got some help on the J♦ turn, which gave him a gutshot.

It was clearly Gavin-Mather’s pot, however, as the 10♥ rolled off on the river, giving her quads and sending Penner to the rail.
