Hoover Catches a Miracle
Fortunes can change with the turn of a card in the Main Event, and that's exactly what just happened to Logan Hoover.
Hoover was all in for 2,385,000 from early position and up against Aditya Systla in middle position.
Logan Hoover: A?K?
Aditya Systla: Q?Q?
"Hold up," Hoover cried out as he stood up from his seat to await the flop. He hit the K?, but the rest of the flop came Q?7? and Systla made a set as Hoover turned away in disgust.
The turn, though, gave him some hope as it came K?. "Ace one time," he yelled out. He didn't hit an ace, but the dealer did turn over the K? as Hoover made running quads.
"Yes," Hoover yelled as he ran away from the table. A big crowd gathered around the table and took photos of the board as Hoover returned to rake in the pot.
"Excuse me, I just made quads in the Main Event," Hoover said.
"That's the sickest thing I've ever seen," a tablemate told him.
