The board read 7♦6♣4♣ and three players had all their chips in the middle. Anthony Cicali (Riverside, NJ) was in the lead with pocket 7's giving him top set. Patrick Smith (Montgomery, AL) was in 2nd place with pocket 6's for a middle set. The third player was drawing live with the Q♣5♣ for an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw. The turn paired the board prompting Cicali to think "sweet, I got a boat" before realizing the card was the 4th six in the deck giving Smith quads. Not all was lost for Cicali, however, as he now had the 3rd opponent drawing dead for the huge side pot. Smith tripled up to 65K and Cicali was up to just over 90K.
