Howard Picks Good Time to Hit Quads
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Howard was short on chips after the break, and he found himself in a battle of the blinds against another short stack.
Howard, who was in the small blind, moved all in with approximately 60,000. The big blind, who had a smaller stack, already had 6,000 committed to the pot between his blind and ante. He made the call and the cards were tabled.
Howard: 10?9?
Opponent: 9?8?
The dealer fanned a spicy flop of 10?J?10?, giving Howald trip 10s and his opponent an open-ended straight. The 10? on the turn, though, gave Howard quads and had his opponent drawing dead to the river, where 4? appeared.
Howard secured the win and sent his opponent to the rail.
