There was a raise to 1,000 from early position and three players called, including Alex Lynskey in middle position. The flop came {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and the action checked around to the {7-Spades} on the turn.

The big blind led out for 1,800 and all three players called. The river brought the {4-Clubs} and the action checked to the hijack. He moved all in for 7,000 which got the big blind and the preflop raiser to fold.

Lynskey took out his headphones and eyed up his opponent for a minute. "Quads?" he asked. Lynskey finally came to the decision to fold and good thing he did as his opponent showed {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for a full house.
