Quads on Board For Pasalic

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Tatjana Pasalic
Tatjana Pasalic

We just caught an interesting hand involving Tatjana Pasalic. Pasalic started by raising to 550 in the small blind. The big blind called, and the two were clearly having fun chatting it up. The flop came down {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and both players checked. The turn came the {6-Clubs}, and again, they both checked. The river brought the case six, the {6-Diamonds}, bringing quads on board.

The whole table was laughing at the final board, and Pasalic bet out 500. Her opponent straight up told her "Don't call" and toss out an orange T5,000 chip. Since it was just the one chip, it should have been deemed just a call, but no one at the table, dealer included, said anything, so it was considered a raise. Pasalic folded her hand, and her opponent flashed the {a-Clubs} for "the nuts".

It should also be noted that Pasalic is wearing a rather interesting leopard suit today. She lost a last longer with her boyfriend, poker pro McLean Karr, though there is a bit of controversy with the bet. The event in question was a re entry event, but Pasalic was not aware of this. Karr was, and outlasted her after re-entering. She's been a good sport about it, as she showed up in the outfit. Meanwhile, Karr is showing his support by rocking out in cat shoes today.
