''Favorite Hands'' Clash in Huge Preflop Confrontation
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
David Lascar had put 6,000 chips in the middle from the cutoff, for what is assumed to be a four-bet, and Adrian State was all in from the button for 30,100.
Lascar asked for confirmation whether the tournament had reentries and, after he received the affirmitve answer, made the call.
Adrian State: 9?9?
David Lascar: 4?4?
''My favorite hand'', State explained. ''Me too'', Lascar responded.
The board ran out without any significant cards: 10?2?A?Q?Q?. It turned out that Lascar covered State by 4,000 chips and State secured the very early double-up.
