Villareal Doubles With Running Quads Before Break!

Just prior to the dinner break Eddie Villareal has found a remarkable double up to put the WSOP's new "excessive celebration rule" to the test!

On a flop of {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} Villareal moved all in for his last 59,000 and was instantly called by his opponent. Villareal revealed {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for top pair-top kicker but was crushed by the {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Needing to catch a running miracle to survive the turn was the {9-Clubs} and river the {9-Diamonds} and Villareal makes running quads as he roars with delight, "Eddie is my name, No Limit Hold'em is my game!"

His dinner will taste pretty good now as Villareal doubles up in dramatic fashion to take 179,000 chips to the break!
