McKola's Aces Cracked by Quads
Level 9
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Serafino Aloe raised to 1,600 in the cutoff. Adam McKola put in a three-bet to 4,000 from the small blind, which Aloe called. McKola continued for 5,000 on the 5?8?7? flop, seeing Aloe toss in more calling chips.
McKola doubled his sizing on the 8? turn to 10,000 but could not shake Aloe yet as the Italian player called again. The 2? river slowed down McKola as he checked to Aloe.
Aloe prepared a bet of 30,000 and gently put it in the middle. McKola mulled things over before he put in a call.
Aloe tabled 8?8? for quad eights. McKola could only laugh and compliment his opponent's hand as he showed AxAx and paid his dues.
