Wasim Assaf limped under the gun for 20,000, Nick Yunis limped from UTG+1, Eric Siegel limped from the button, and Michael Graffeo checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came Qs10d4s, Graffeo checked, and Assaf bet 45,000. Yunis raised to 145,000, and Siegel moved all in for 460,000. Graffeo quickly folded, and Assaf thought for a while before he folded.

As he was making the call, Yunis asked, “Did I run into fours?”

“Something like that,” said Siegel, who then showed 4h4c for a flopped set of fours.

Yunis turned over Qc10c for two pair, queens and tens.

The turn card was the 3s, the river card was the 6c, and the set of fours held up for Siegel to win the pot and double up in chips.

Eric Siegel  –  1,075,000  (54 bb)
Nick Yunis  –  160,000  (8 bb)

With eight players remaining, the average chip stack is about 400,000 (20 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $4,845 each.
