Ruffin Turns Quads

Phil Ruffin turns quad threes.
Phil Ruffin turns quad threes.

Cary Katz opened to 22,000 from under the gun, Giovanni "Malibu" Guarascio called, and Phil Ruffin called as well. The flop fell {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and Katz led out for 63,000. Both Guarascio and Ruffin called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, and the action checked to Ruffin, who fired 100,000. Only Gurascio called.

The {8-Spades} completed the board, and Gurascio checked again. Ruffin reached for green T25,000 chips, cut out twelve, then fired 300,000 into the pot. Gurascio shrugged, made the call, and Ruffin took a drink from his coffee before tabling his cards and saying, "Nuts."

Ruffin showed two red threes for quads, and raked in the pot. Gurascio is very short, with just about a half million chips.
