Just moments ago, Phil Hellmuth made quad deuces, but wound up chopping the pot. Either way, he stayed alive. This time is was Mandy Thomas' turn to make quad ducks.

Joel Ettedgi raised to 84,000 from early position and then Mandy Thomas called all in for 70,000 from the hijack seat. Ben Lamb was in the small blind and reraised the pot. Ettedgi called and was all in for the big side pot. Thomas could only win the main.

Thomas held the {A-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} , Lamb the {A-Spades} {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Ettedgi the {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} .

The flop came down {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} and Lamb flopped a wheel. Thomas flopped herself a set of deuces while Ettedgi's chances weren't looking so hot.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and Thomas made quads. She now had a lock on the high half of the main pot.

The river completed the board with the {8-Clubs} and first the side pot was awarded to Lamb, who won both the high and the low with a wheel. Thomas and Lamb then chopped up the main pot. Thomas moved to 117,000 while Lamb moved to 725,000 after being sent all of Ettedgi's chips from the side pot.
