And then there were QUADS!

Sunday night @ PKR after the tourney, we're playing $1-$2 No Limit and I get to watch as one of my new best friends and poker buddies, Rick, had a three-way pot with Michael and Stone. There was a smallish pre-flop raise of about $12. Rick had pocket 3-3, Michael had A-4, Rick has 3-3, and we never saw Stone's hand. Flop comes A-3-6 with two clubs. Michael is first to act and bets $16. Rick raises to $40, Stone calls. Michael asked if Rick had a hand, and Rick said "not yet." Turn comes a 4, giving Michael two pair. Michael checks, Rick bet $40 and both of them call. At this point there's probably around $280 in the pot. The river is the case 3. Michael checks, Rick goes all-in for around $140 or so. Stone folds and Michael calls, thinking he's either bluffing with a busted flush draw, or has A-K or A-Q which would have given Michael a higher two-pair. Quads scoop a nice little pot. We've really got to get a monkey at PKR.

I assume Stone either had the busted flush draw, or an ace with no kicker. Somebody.... get the monkey!
