Quattlebaum Doubles Lebed; Busts to Correia
Ezequiel Lebed jumped up celebration after he had been all-in and at risk against John Quattlebaum and got there on the river. His Q♦J♦ had flopped top pair and a flush draw but he was up against A♣A♠. However, the J♥10♦5♦9♣ turn gave him even more outs only for the 3♦ river to complete the flush.
"Wife just landed ... it was a hell of a run," Quattlebaum said after his stack was reduced to 45,000. Right after the hand was over, he also received the beer he had just ordered and tipped the waitress all of his pocket change.
Soon after, Quattlebaum was all-in preflop and Ruben Correia isolated with a bet on the K♠8♥3♦ flop.
John Quattlebaum: A♣5♣
Ruben Correia: Q♥J♥
Quattlebaum was happy to be ahead but the miracle comeback was cut short on the 5♥ turn and 7♥ river runout.
"This was the greatest four days of my life ... in poker," a thankful Quattlebaum said on the way out of the tournament area.
