MrCleverFox

Niveau 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Paul Sokoloff: //
Chad Campbell: //
Eli Elezra: //
Chris Tryba: //

We picked up the action on seventh street, but there was already a massive pot in the middle of the table. Paul Sokoloff was first to act and he put out a bet. Chad Campbell called before Eli Elezra made it two bets. Chris Tryba called and then Sokoloff made it three bets. Campbell, Elezra, and Tryba all called.

"He has to have four tens," Tryba said immediately after action was closed.

Sokoloff did, in fact, show for four tens. His quads were good for the high end of the pot as Campbell and Elezra both mucked. Tryba showed his though and with his seven low, he took down the low side of the pot.

"My first five was a flush," Tryba said. "He has to have quads to be raising into these boards. But I didn't know if he was raising with a flush or a better seven or what."

"I had quads on the first four," Sokoloff mentioned.

Mike Matusow just recently walked in the room and Kessler was on top of things as per usual.

"Mike, are you in?" Kessler shouted across the room.

"Ya, give me a second," Matusow responded. "If I have a thousand dollars on me."

"He's not in," Ryan Miller instantly chimed in as the room chuckled.
