Duran Knocks Out Tabucal in Spectacular Fashion

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

By the time the all-in showdown unfolded, Ivan Tabucal and Oliver Duran had vaulted out of their chairs and both had the smart phones out to record what was unfolding.

Tabucal was the player at risk but his A?Q? had flopped the nut flush on K?6?3?. Duran's K?K? were good for the top set and he had plenty of outs. Nothing changed with the 9? turn but the K? river gave Duran quads as his opponent banged his fist on the table in disgust.

"Did you have aces?" Duran then asked Richard Tolentino, who had also been involved prior to the showdown. Tolentino nodded and Duran added "I put you on aces, that's why I just called the seven thousand ... with my stack it's otherwise all-in," he concluded.
