Ward Doubles Through Mazilu with Rivered Quads in Huge Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Picking the action up on a flop of 8?7?9? in a battle between the two big stacks at the table, John Ward put out a bet of 8,000, only to be three-bet to 35,000 by Mihal Mazilu.
After some thought Ward announced he was all in for 198,000 and Mazilu immediately made the call to create a monster pot, with Ward at risk.
John Ward: 8?8?
Mihal Mazilu: J?10?
In an absolute cooler, Ward had flopped middle set only to run into the made jack high straight of Mazilu.
Ward still had outs, and although the 6? turn did not alter matters, the 8? river gave Ward quad eights and sent him a huge pot.
As Ward thanked the dealer Mazilu looked stunned, but he still has a reasonable stack to work with.
