Quad Aces Paid for Taylor

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Darren Taylor and Jonathan Zarin showed an ordinary start to a hand, but a not-so-ordinary finish.

Taylor raised to 70,000, and Zarin called from the big blind. So far, so standard, and nothing changed on the {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, as both players checked.

The turn was the {A-Hearts}, and Zarin checked again. Taylor made a delayed continuation bet, sliding forward 60,000. Zarin called.

Zarin remained passive on the {6-Diamonds} river, and Taylor asked the dealer about the size of the pot; she confirmed it was 275,000. Taylor ultimately bet out 215,000, raising a, "How much?" question from Zarin.

Zarin called, and Taylor said just one word: "Quads."

He indeed had four-of-a-kind, showing {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Zarin couldn't believe it, briefly flipping over his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{X-}{X-} with the unknown cards believed to be {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Zarin was upset about what had just happened, leaning back in his chair. "He just hits the ace," he added in frustration.
