Event Info
On sixth street, Quel tossed in his case 13,000 and Billy "The Croc" Argyros called.
Quel (Q-2) 3-4-7-9
Argyros (5-T) A-3-7-Q
Quel had a made 9 low, while Billy the Croc needed a 2,4,6, or 8 to improve. Taylor, Harvey and Quel all gathered behind Billy the Croc to sweat his final card.
It was... a nine. And Quel survived again. He has 90,000 in chips.
"Come on, boys! I want to go to dinner!" said a hungry Billy the Croc, hoping to induce at least a little action.
Billy 'the Croc' Argyros 169,000
Paul Taylor 87,000
Martin Harvey 65,000
Rainer Quel 50,000

Quel took the high pot with his set of threes and split the low with Harvey, increasing his stack to 36,000.
"Do you want me to call?" he kept asking. Taylor remained stoic, his black Poker News cap pulled over his eyes. The Croc attempted to peek underneath it to get a better read, getting a chuckle from Taylor.
As the floor counted down his last five seconds to act, the Croc tossed in the 16,000 call. Taylor turned up for fourth pair and the Croc mucked.
"I don't know how you bet that on the river" he muttered as Taylor stacked his chips.
