Quads for the Mouth

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Marcello Mesqueu opened to 800, Mike Matusow called from the small blind, and Robin Mitchell called from the big. The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Matusow led for 1,100. Mitchell released, Mesqueu raised to 2,500, and Matusow called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, and Matusow check-called 5,500 from Mesqueu. The river was another eight - the {8-Clubs} - and Matusow again checked, Mesqueu checked behind, and Matusow opened up {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for quad eights.
