Held Ends Dorantes Night Early With Brutal Beat

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On one of the last hands of the day, the board read 4♣9♣4♥4♦, and with around 30,000 in the pot, Konstantin Held bet 12,000 from the small blind. Oscar Dorantes jammed for around 40,000, and Held quickly called.

Oscar Dorantes: 9♠9♥ All in
Konstantin Held: Q♠Q♦

Dorantes had flopped a full house and looked destined to end Day 1b with a healthy double-up.

However, the poker gods had other ideas. The 4♠ river counterfeited Dorantes' hand, leaving him playing the board. Held's queen-kicker played, giving him quad fours with a queen to win the pot, while Dorantes departed the Paris Ballroom with a brutal bad beat to remember.
