Pritchard Rivers Xu, Carlile Runs into Quads
A big pot played out between Vincent Xu and Jason Pritchard that saw the latter take quite a few chips from the former, with Pritchard kind enough to provide PokerNews the details after the fact.
Pritchard was the man raising the hijack to 12,000, with Xu three-betting the button to 35,000, which Pritchard called to bring the two to a flop of 
.
Pritchard checked the 
turn, Xu bet 30,000 and Pritchard check-raised all-in and was beaten into the pot, with Pritchard's ace-jack two pair trailing to Xu's flopped set of queens.
The river saw Pritchard make a bigger boat and scoop the pot to climb to 492,000 while Xu dropped to 180,000.
The short-stacked Josh Carlile got the last of his chips in with pocket aces and looked to be in great shape to score a double against the pocket tens of an opponent, but the 
flop brought an abrupt and to Carlile's Main Event run.
