Lapka Misreads His Stack; Did McKevitt Fold Quads?
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Justin Lapka moved all in for 113,000 under the gun and Benjamin McKevitt called in the cutoff. Robert Van Hoose then reraised to 265,000 in the big blind, and McKevitt folded, claiming he had two jacks.
Justin Lapka: A♥8♥ 
Robert Van Hoose: Q♥Q♣
"I had way more than I thought I did. I thought I had like 70 or 80K," Lapka said. The flop came 9♣7♣2♣, while McKevitt let out a cry when the J♠ fell on the turn.
The river was the J♣ and Van Hoose took the pot with his queens to send Lapka to the rail. McKevitt said he would've made quads, although the rest of the table was skeptical that he actually had jacks.
"Did you see my cards?" he asked, and one tablemate said he did see the J♥.
