WATCH: Player Folds Quads To Opponent’s Full House

Unlikely Move Leaves Viewers Baffled

Folding quads seems like an impossible move for most poker players, but one player at Texas Card House in Dallas made that exact move last week … and it cost him a sizable pot.

The no-limit hold’em game featured blinds of $10-$25 and saw four players see a flop, including: Zak (8♣9♣); Ryan (A♥3♠); “QQQ” (4♠4♦); and “Spooky” (6♠6♦). The flop brought 6♥4♣4♥, giving QQQ four of a kind and Spooky a full house.

QQQ now had a 95% chance to win the pot, with an unlikely straight flush or bigger set of quads the only better hand possibilities.

Spooky Wins $10K+ Pot

With $625 in the pot, all four checked. The turn brought the A♣, giving Ryan a pair of aces. All four players checked again.

The river brought the 3♥. QQQ bet $400. Spooky thought a bit before raising to $1,300 with a grin on his face. Zak then folded and QQQ bumped the action up to $2,400. Ryan folded and Spooky thought a bit before moving all in with the last of his $7,565.

“You’re never folding,” the stream’s commentator said. “Flick the chip in, let’s move on.”

Amazingly, QQQ looked at his cards before tossing them to the muck. Spooky took down the $10,815 pot.

“No way dude,” one player at the table can be heard saying after seeing the result of the hand.

The commentators were equally as baffled, with one saying: “I don’t know what to say folks.” Watch the hand below.

you EVER folding QUADS? 😖

Speculation Ensues

Some players responding to the hand on social media expressed concerns about collusion or believed QQQ may have somehow misread his hand.

Others believed he may have been more of a pot-limit Omaha player, where bigger hands are much more common.

In November, Hustler Casino Live delivered a gargantuan cooler for featured quads beaten by a straight flush for a pot of almost $195,000.

The quads talk last week brought an interesting story from Cliff Josephy, who has two World Series of Poker bracelets and finished second in the main event in 2016. He posted a blog entry from Bryan Devonshire detailing a cash game hand from 2008 in which Josephy folded quads on the river, which turned out to be the correct play in that instance.
