Peter Raimondi opened to 6,000 from early position and the player in the big blind defended. The flop came 
and both players checked to see a 
hit the turn. Raimondi flatted a bet of 4,000 and another brick hit the river.
The player in the big blind bet 7,000 and called Raimondi's raise to 25,000. Raimondi tabled the 
flopping quads and his opponent mucked 
.

After a massive three-way all-in involving Andy Spears and Steven Filipovic, more than 10% of the chips in play are now piled in front of Filipovic.
We picked up the action on the flop with about 40,000 already in the middle and a board reading 
. Spears bet 18,000 from middle position and Filipovic flatted on the cutoff. The under the gun player raised to 37,000 only to see Spears three-bet jam for 166,000.
Filipovic then four-bet jammed for 174,000 and the original raiser snap-called to put both players at risk.

The Canadian, Filipovic, had flopped a set of nine with the Gretzky's and improved to a full house when the 
hit the turn. The 
bricked out on the river and Filipovic dragged a gigantic pot sending Spears to the rail.
