Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Scott Seiver raised to 140,000 under the gun, only Joni Jouhkimainen called in the small blind.

The flop was Q97 and Jouhkimainen bet enough to cover Seiver's stack. Seiver called, and the cards were revealed.

Scott Seiver: KK65
Joni Jouhkimainen: JJ108

The turn A and river A were safe for Seiver, so he scored the double right before dinner break.

Quads for Ding

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Biao Ding
Biao Ding

Biao Ding limped in from the hijack before Youness Barakat raised to 180,000 on the button. The action folded back to Ding, who made the call.

Both players checked the QQJ flop, but when Ding checked for a second time on the Q turn, Barakat put out a bet of 115,000, which Ding called.

The dealer produced the K river, and when Ding checked for a third time, Barakat wisely checked back. Ding rolled over QJ109 for a turned four-of-a-kind, and Barakat returned his cards to the dealer face down.
