Muir Takes the Lead
Oct 11, '14
Kody Muir took the chip lead after taking down a massive pot with quads.
Muir opened to 3,600 from middle position and got a call from the cutoff. The button re-raised to 11,000 and Ed Klein called from the small blind. Muir called, the cutoff folded and the flop came 496.
Action checked to the button and he bet 21,000. Klein quickly moved all-in and Muir did the same.
The small blind looked conflicted, both Muir and Klein had him covered but he’d already dedicated so much of his stack to the pot. He also had a good hand, it was the best preflop, aces.
The small blind eventually folded and Klein tabled an over pair with 1010 while Muir showed a set of fours with 44.
The turn brought a 5 and a 4 came on the river to give Muir quads. Muir doubled up to about 390,000 while Klein was left with about 40,000.

The hijack went into the tank for a few moments before moving all in for just under 30,000.
“I don’t like it, but I got to call,” said Klein as he pushed in a call.
Klein tabled 108 and needed to improve against his opponent’s 53. The turn was the A and the river was the Q to send the pot to Klein and move him just shy of 200,000 in chips.
