Gonzales Flops Quads to Crack Aces
Michael Gonzales raised in the hijack and Wendell Barnes three-bet in the cutoff. Gonzales called.
Gonzales checked on the flop of J♥10♣J♠ and Barnes continued for 17,000. Gonzales called. Gonzales checked again on the 3♣ turn and Barnes bet 30,000. Gonzales check-raised all in and Barnes called. "If you've got the jack you've got the jack."
Michael Gonzales: J♦J♣ 
Wendell Barnes: A♣A♦
Gonzales had flopped quads to have Barnes drawing dead with aces and the table reacted in disbelief as the Q♣ river bricked off to earn the Utahn a double.
"How does that happen?" Mallory Klaus reacted.
Jongtae Kim was in the one seat and hadn't seen Barnes' cards in the eight seat. When the dealer pulled them in, Kim reacted with the same disbelief his tablemates had shown 30 seconds earlier.
"You had aces? Wow!" Kim said.
