Armstrong Strikes Quad's for a Monster Pot

Niveau 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

As Benjamin Armstrong recalls, the action began with him raising from the hijack position to 60,000. The big blind made a call as both players headed to the flop.

The board came Jx8x7x, with the opponent opting to check. Armstrong bet for 50,000 with his opponent quickly three-bet to 100,000. Armstrong flatted with two players to the turn.

The big blind led out for 200,000 as the turn peeled 7x. Armstrong just called to see the river.

The river was the 8x as the big blind led out, jamming all in for 275,000. Armstrong quickly called as he flipped over 8x8x for quads on the river, scooping the pot.
