River Traps Alspach

It started out as a friendly, four-way, unraised pot at Dan Alspach's table. He had position for the hand. All four players checked a flop that came down {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}. On the {10-Clubs} turn, action checked to the second player to act, who bet 800. Alspach called, as did the small blind.

The river was the {10-Spades} to put a full house on board. The small blind chose that street to lead out for 2,000. Only Alspach called. He showed {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds} for a full house bigger than the board, but the small blind had flopped quads with {5-Clubs} {3-Spades}.

"Nice river, nice river," lamented Alspach.
