Three-Way All In Produces Quads

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Richard Lopez
Richard Lopez

There was a three-way preflop all-in hand in progress, and when the dust settled all three hands were tabled.

Matthew Dalka {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Richard Lopez {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Khaled Nassief {a-}{q-}

Dalka had the largest stack and was in prime position to balloon up the counts.

However, the flop came down {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} to zoom Lopez into the lead with a set of kings.

The turn sewed it up as the {k-Diamonds} came off to give Lopez quads, and after the meaningless river was run out, he pulled in a big pot while also ending Nassief's night in the process.

Josh Burkhalter
Josh Burkhalter

It was a battle of big stacks as the flop read {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

Josh Burkhalter check-called a bet of 75,000 from Jimmu Lujan.

The turn came the {q-Spades}. Lujan bet again, this time for 125,000 and Burkhalter came along again.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Burkhalter checked again and Lujan put together some chips and made a hefty bet of 225,000.

Burkhalter went into the tank and played with his chips while thinking it out. He eyed Lujan and after over a minute he called.

Lujan showed {5-}{5-} and Burkhalter tabled the winner with his {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} to gather the massive pot to put him well over a million.
