Poker Quads On Board

W: There was no royal flush on the board. M: I had 7-2 of diamonds. W: 7-2 of diamonds, huh? W: What did you have? M: He made a good fold.” Now, you can read the massive 2+2 thread, with all of the poker hand range analysis you want, and you can spend all day analyzing the possible hand holdings, frequencies, etc etc etc. Exactly a Set 8.3 to 1 (10.8%) Full House (either by hit set with pocket pair and paired board or trips on flop) 101 to 1 (0.98%) Quads 407 to 1 (0.25%) Set, Full House, or Quads on flop 7.3 to 1 (12.0%).

Four of a kind is normally an unbeatable hand in poker, and the odds of even seeing quads on the board is a minuscule 4,164 to one (or around .024 percent.) In this classic hand from Party Poker World Open VI, Toby Lewis and Andrew Robl both hit quads, but only one man can win the pot.

Lewis, on the button, draws pocket queens, while Robl to his left has pocket nines. Lewis raises $8,000, which Robl calls. Yevgeniy Timoshenko also has a pocket pair, but his deuces will soon be obliterated after the flop.

The dealer turns Queen-nine-Queen, giving Lewis his quads and putting Robl in an impossible situation. Robl bets $18k, which Lewis re-raises to $42k. The commentators bashed Lewis’ decision to re-raise, but Robl had the perfect hand that kept him in the pot.

After a call, the dealer turns a five of spades. With the pot at $108k, Robl checks, and Lewis bets another $63k.

Robl calls, and finally gets his quads on the river. He pushes in his remaining chips, $149k, only to find that Lewis had four Queens all along. Timoshenko was stunned, and just sat there with his mouth hanging open.
