Periaux Makes Quads to Take Down Massive Pot
Level 4
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ludovic Periaux was in the cutoff and called a preflop raise of 1,600 before Natalia Nikitina on the button made it 6,500. The small blind then four-bet to 18,000 and Periaux called, while Nikitina folded.
The flop came 
and the small blind continued for 11,000. Periaux called and both players checked the 
turn.
The small blind checked to Periaux again on the 
river and he threw out a green 25,000 chip. His opponent tanked for several minutes before a tablemate called the clock. As the countdown neared zero, he called as Periaux turned over 
for quad eights to win the pot and climb to around 200,000.
