Quads Are Tough to Beat

[user108095]

On a board of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

, Christian Iacobellis check-raised his opponent all in for an additional 99,000 after an initial bet of 80,000. Iacobellis got the call and happily tabled {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

for quads while his opponent showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

for two pair.

Even more cruel, the river brought the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, giving the loser a full house.

Iacobellis is now sitting on a stack of more than 400,000.
