Maximum Value Reached by Visan after Acquiring Quadres Company
In a lively poker game, Alexandru-Daniel Visan upped his chips to 600 from an early position, with both blinds on board. As the flop rolled out A♦10♠J♥, the action checked all the way to Visan. He took advantage of the temporary lull and tossed out a daring 1,000 chips. Peter Nottingham, sitting small blind, put in a call.
The turn brought the 3♠, prompting Nottingham to step up with a 2,200 chip bet. Visan coolly raised the stakes with a 6,000 chip wager, which Nottingham called without a second thought.
The river card lay down the 10♥. Nottingham, never one to back down, thrown the gauntlet with an 11,000 chip bet. Visan took a deep breath and, after utilizing the time bank, decided to counter with a whopping 34,000 chip raise. With his back against the wall, Nottingham used the time bank too, but eventually called.
With a flourish, Visan flipped over his cards to reveal 10♣10♦, locking up a onetime four of a kind, or quads. Visan sat pretty with 85,700 chips, while Nottingham was left with only 8,000.
In a typical high-stakes poker match, the odds shift drastically when someone flaunts quads on the table. This hand demonstrates the fateful dance between deep-stacked and short-stacked players, and the potential disastrous consequences when a short-stacker faces down a set of quads.
