Livello 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Heather Turner raised to 3,100 in early position and received a call from middle position, late position, and the big blind.

Four ways, they saw the flop of Q♣4♣4♦ and this time Turner bet 12,000 and her competition folded all in a row.

"Flopped a four, huh?!", joked the first caller of the bunch as she scooped the pot. She cracked a smile, implying it was very unlikely she had a four in her hand.
