Downdall's Four is Good
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Muhamed Mia made it 2,500 to go from the hijack and Longmao Fan called in the cutoff. Ionut Arvatu called from the button and Max Downdall completed from the big blind.
The four went to a flop of 10?2?8?, which checked around to the 4? turn. It checked to Arvatu, who fired 3,200, and only Downdall called.
When the 7? completed the runout, both players checked to showdown and with Downdall to show first, he didn't seem too confident. Downdall thought it was his opponent's turn to show, but he hesitantly flipped over A?4? for a pair of fours. Arvatu couldn't beat that and said 'you win' to his tablemate.
