Hamby Does It with Quads

After an early-position player limped into the pot pre-flop, Jared Hamby also limped. A player in middle position then raised all in for 1,900 total. The first limper folded, but Hamby called with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. It turned out he was up against {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Hamby flopped quads, {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}, and would turn out to need them when the turn came {5-Diamonds} and river came {10-Diamonds} to give his opponent a full house. By collecting that pot Hamby moved to 7,200 in chips.
