Three-handed on a board of 2♦2♠2♣Q♥, Dario Alioto bet 4,000 from the hijack and Tomasz Gluszko called on the button. Pierre Erbland then raised to 22,000 in the big blind and only Alioto called.
The river was the Q♠ and Erbland bet 60,000. Alioto quickly called for his last 57,000 and Erbland turned over J♠7♦5♠4♠.
"What's that?" Alioto asked.
"Nothing," the dealer replied. Alioto then showed A♠A♥6♣3♣ as he took in the pot.
"Nice call," Gluszko told him. "I thought it was going to be quads over quads."
"I almost folded. If I thought for a split second more," Alioto replied.
