Samad Flops Quads to Crack Poullikkas's Aces

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Abdul Samad opened to no less than 20,000 second-to-act before Antonios Poullikkas jammed for 104,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Samad who went into a small tank.

"Please don't show me kings," Samad pleaded as he put in the call, only slightly covering his opponent.

Antonios Poullikkas: AxAx All in
Abdul Samad: Q♠Q♦

Samad was in fact not shown kings, but Poullikkas did one better with two aces.

However, Poullikkas's lead was short-lived as the Q♥Q♣6♠ flop gave Samad quad queens.

It was all over on the 9♠ turn to the 7♣ river as Samad made sure that the entire Paris Yellow section knew about it. After shouting indecipherable phrases for about 15 seconds, Samad sat down and stacked his chips with a smile, while a crushed Poullikkas left his seat.
