Around 40,000 was in the pot as Brent Slaubaugh and John Choleva went heads-up to a flop of 10♥9♦9♠. Slaubaugh then bet 35,000 from early position, Choleva moved all in for 170,000 in the small blind, and Slaubaugh called.
John Choleva: 9♣9♥ 
Brent Slaubaugh: Q♣Q♠
Slaubaugh showed down two queens, but Choleva had flopped quads as he was poised for a massive double up. The rest of the board ran out 3♥5♦ and Choleva scooped the pot worth nearly 400,000.
