Just Quads For Ding

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Biao Ding raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Tom Orpaz defended his big blind.

The two players checked to the river on a board of K?Q?K?6?10? when Orpaz led out for 100,000. Ding then raised to 250,000 and Orpaz quickly called.

Ding turned over K?K? for flopped quads and Orpaz flashed the Q? as he mucked.

Orpaz got some of those chips back the next hand when he three-bet to 200,000 from the small blind. Erik Seidel called under the gun to see the 8?7?9? flop, where Orpaz instantly moved all in.

Seidel, with around 600,000 back, tanked for a few seconds before mucking. "Good fold. Didn't want to see an ace," Orpaz said.
