Samual called a small continuation bet from Tot on the Q♦10♣7♦ flop creating a pot of 47,000 heading into the Q♥ turn. Tot checked, Samual bet 20,000 and Tot called.

On the 2♠ river Tot checked again and Samual bet 27,200, leaving a single white T-25,000 chip behind. Tot moved all in with a covering stack and Samual made the call.

Samuel showed A♥A♦ for aces up but Tot turned over Q♠Q♣ for quad queens to score the early knockout and a full double up.
