River Traps Alspach

It started out as a friendly, four-way, unraised pot at Dan Alspach's table. He had position for the hand. All four players checked a flop that came down {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

. On the

{10-Clubs}

turn, action checked to the second player to act, who bet 800. Alspach called, as did the small blind.

The river was the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

to put a full house on board. The small blind chose that street to lead out for 2,000. Only Alspach called. He showed {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

for a full house bigger than the board, but the small blind had flopped quads with {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

.

"Nice river, nice river," lamented Alspach.
