Maimone Anxious With Quads

Nick Maimone was hoping he had hit the jackpot when he made quad fours on a potential action board, but all he got was a fold. Maimone opened in late position for 125,000 preflop and was called by Ben Lamb from the button. Maimone fired another 200,000 on a flop of {9-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {A-Diamonds}.

When Lamb called that bet and the turn put three diamonds and a pair on board with the {4-Diamonds}, Maimone checked. Lamb bet 500,000, then folded to Maimone's minimum-raise to 1 million. Maimone disappointedly flashed {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} in the hole for quad fours.
