Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A hand at table 53 played out that had it all, ending with a quadruple up for Sylvain Imbeault. The action was hard to track but when we approached the table, there were chips in front of everyone, and the all-in plaque placed in front of Imbeault.

The big blind was 600 and at least six players from the table had out in that much. There was then a raise to 2,600 which four players had called before Imbeault raised all-in. The shove received calls by Christopher Baaklini, Eric Dahan, and Josef Ares and a flop of {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} was seen.

The three players still left with chips checked to the {j-Clubs} on the turn. Ares bet 6,000 and both players folded.

Ares: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Imbeault: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Imbeault was ahead, making a pair pf jacks on the turn and held through the river to claim the massive quadruple up.

Rong Was Right

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Facing a bet of 6,000 on a {5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} board with around 15,000 in the middle, Rong Xu made the call. The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Xu's opponent bet 10,000, enough to put Xu all-in.

Xu tanked for just a moment before putting in the remainder of his stack. His opponent turned over {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} and with a sigh of relief, Xu tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, taking down the pot.
