At the end of this hand, Michael Soyza commented, “I was drawing dead at the flop” and then chuckled. The hand between him and cutoff player Saul Oliver began with a series of raises and re-raises preflop with Soyza finally calling on the button position. At the flop of A♣ A♥ J♦, Oliver led for 16k onto a pot of around 47k. Soyza flat-called. On the Q♥ turn, Oliver checked, Soyza bet 25k, and Oliver smooth-called. On the 4♥ river, both players checked and Oliver revealed his A♠ A♦ quads.
Oliver at 160k, Soyza dropped to 185k.
