Kobe Regains the Lead With Quads
Level 24
: Blinds 0/0, 200,000 ante
Aori opened to 1,100,000 and Kobe defended the button to see a flop of 10?8?7?. Aori checked and Kobe bet 1,500,000 only for Aori to move all-in and receive a snap-call.
Kobe: 8?8?
Aori: J?10?
Kobe's set was ahead and he only needed to fear a nine or running jacks and tens. The K? turn took away the latter option and the crowd then gasped an "ohhhhh" when Kobe made quads with the 8? river. His double was for 9,500,000 and Kobe leaped back into a two-to-one lead.
