Bizarre Bad Beat: Backdoor Quads Defeats Flopped Full House

A frenzy was going on over on Table 24, where all players were frantically scrambling for their phones to film one of the most incredible bad beats that just transpired in front of their eyes. Three hands were tabled on a board, showing the following hands:

Antoine Vranken:
Florian Ribouchon:
Lukasz Grossmann:

While Ribouchon had flopped top full and Vranken trip sixes, it would be Grossmann who ended up with a runner-runner perfect to scoop the pot with quads.

Vranken, who got eliminated in the hand, relayed to PokerNews that Grossmann had raised from middle position and both he and Ribouchon had called from the blinds. Both flop and turn got checked around — each of the three players sneakingly trying to trap the other.

All the fireworks happened on the river: Ribouchon bet 4,500, Vranken raised to 10,000, Grossmann shoved all in for 28,400, Ribouchon came over the top with his sevens full, and Vranken called all in for his remaining 25,400. Grossmann scooped up the miracle pot, while Ribouchon will have a bad beat story for the ages to tell.
