Alcober Loses To Quads

Action started with Robert?Peltekci, who raised to 6,500 in early position. It folded around to our chip leader Benjamin Alcober, and he three bet it to 13,500 on the button. The blinds folded, and Peltekci made the call.

The two players checked on the flop, {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and the turn, the {2-Diamonds}. The river brought the {10-Spades}, and Peltekci grabbed two stacks of yellow T1,000 chips, and slid them into the middle. It was a bet of 61,000, and Alcober tanked for about a minute before calling.

Peltekci nodded his head and made a hand motion that made some at the table think he was indicating "nice hand", and Alcober tabled {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. However, Peltekci then tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for quads, and said "there we go!" Once he collected the chips, we saw that he was up to 250,000, while Alcober drops to 900,000.
