After some major fireworks, and a blowup, Q takes week 4.

Well we only had 7 play last night but there was no shortage of drama. Chad's remarkable run of 4 in a row has come to an end, with a 2nd place finish no less. Aces were not friendly last night and were cracked twice late in the game.With 4 left to play and John holding A,A in the big blind. Chad raised to 150k in the small blind, John paused and then re-raised Chad all-in. After much deliberation, Chad called and flipped over 9,9 putting his run on the line. Q had folded an A,9, so John was an overwhelming favorite, but as Chad's luck has been running he spiked the case 9 to flop a set. John's chip stack and psyche were crushed. Chad was now had a huge stack with 3 to play. Not to be outdone, Harry doubled up twice late in the game, only to have his pocket Aces cracked by an ill timed all in shove from Q with Q,10. After Harry flipped over his Aces, Q slammed his remaining chips onto the table in disgust. Yet, low and behold, Harry happened to flop a set of Aces, which led to a rivered Str8 by Q. How quickly the game can change. Aces were sucked out 3 times on the night, all with unbelievable results. Heads up Chad and Q traded chips for about fifteen hands with Q building a small lead. The last hand found Chad limping in with A,10 to Q's pocket Jacks in the BB. Q made a small raise pre-flop, which Chad then re-raised to 500k, Q came over the top all-in leading to the games final showdown. Q's J,J held up dethroning Chad in the process. Chads run was a spectacle to say the least, and he was one more suckout away from 5 in a row. Nice job Chad. See ya next Tuesday Night at Q's 7pm.
