Hard to Beat Quads

Michael "Sticky" Guttman raised to open the action, making it 600 to play from the cutoff seat. Next to him, the player on the button made the call.

Heads up, the flop came {10-Hearts} {J-Spades} {8-Hearts}. Guttman led out with 1,500 chips, and his opponent moved all-in for an additional 6,125 on top. Guttman made the call, putting a big pot up for grabs.


Showdown:
Guttman: {9-Spades} {10-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Guttman was in front with his pair of tens, but his opponent had a strong drawing hand. The turn paired the board with the {10-Diamonds}, giving Guttman trips and eliminating a lot of his opponent's outs. Just to rub it in, he pulled the {10-Clubs} on the river, running down quad tens to double up over 16,000.
