Full House Not Enough

On a turn board showing {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, Brandon Cantu led out into the three-way pot with a bet of 100,000. Next door, Michele Iacovone made the call, and Tyler Spalding put in a minimum raise to 200,000. Cantu got the message and folded out of the way, but Iacovone moved all in with the big stack. Spalding instantly called.

Showdown
Iacovone: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Spalding: {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

Iacovone thought he hit paydirt with his full house on the turn. Unfortunately for him, Spalding had the unbeatable quads, earning the young man a huge double up to 1,150,000. Iacovone had enough chips to survive that big hit, still sitting with 615,000.
