Yesterday, I played at the Wynn in the final tournament of a high-stakes series. I hadn’t done well in the other tournaments—a few deep runs but not a single cash. In the picture above, you can see that I got dealt pocket 10s. I raised, another player reraised, and I decided to shoved pre-flop, hoping my 10s were good and that he had a smaller pair or a big ace or that he got scared and folded. The other player called and had… pocket Qs. You can see what happened. We both flopped sets. There was no way both of us weren’t going to put all our chips in the middle, no matter what the sequence of betting. But on the turn… I got quads! I doubled up early.
