Swinger Makes Quads to Save His Tournament Life
Action was picked up on the flop between three players, with roughly 35,000 already in the pot and the board showing Q♦3♦7♥.
A player from early position was all in for 12,500, Jared Swinger was all in for 38,500 in the small blind, and the under the gun player putting both at risk.
Early Position: A♦Q♥ 
Jared Swinger: 3♥3♣
Under the Gun: 7♠7♦
It was a cooler flop as the early position player flopped top pair, Swinger flopped bottom set and the under the gun player flopping middle set. The player under the was poised for a double knockout, but once the turn came the 3♠ Swinger improved to quad threes, which left him in shock. The river was the 5♦ and Swinger took in a massive pot to nearly triple him up and eliminated the early position player in the process.
