Markholt's Quads Keep Him in the Game

It seems like it's always a good time for quads, but it's definitely a good time for quads when your opponent has top two. Lee Markholt got his stack into the pot on a board of {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades} and was called by a player with {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Markholt turned up {5-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a set of fives, then found the case five {5-Hearts}on the river to make quads and double up. He's up to 16,500.
