Queens Flops Quads to Beat Aces and Kings
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Shawn Partovi in the big blind, Ole Nygaard in middle position, and Emery Martindale in the hijack had gathered a humongous pot of 56,000 when they saw the Q♥3♥Q♣10♣ turn. All three checked to the 6♠ river, where Partovi bet 8,000.
Nygaard tossed in a call, and Martindale quickly followed suit.
Partovi stood up and triumphantly smashed his Q♠Q♦ on the table. His flopped quads sent the cards of Nygaard and Martindale to the muck.
"I almost folded preflop," Martindale claimed, stating he had pocket kings. The whole table agreed Nygaard could only have had aces as Partovi was awarded the giant pile of chips.
