Jelinek Makes Quads

I arrived at the table to see Steve Jelinek doubling up with quad kings, two of them in his hand. He stared at me, wide-eyed. "I'd like to say I played it well, but it all went in preflop," he said. The gent to his left was slamming the table and muttering an expletive in frustration.

Turns out Jelinek had raised in the cutoff and the button had reraised. Jelinek made it 6,000, the button made it all in, Jelinek gave it some thought but decided to go for it. Button turned over aces, naturally. BANG! Quads on the flop.

Lucky Mr. Jelinek is up to 62,000.
