Alex Melnikow and Thomas Wahlroos called a 3,000 raise from a player in early position and the flop came {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {3-Clubs}.The original raiser bet 4,500, Wahlroos reraised to 11,000 and Melnikow called. The original raiser then popped it to 31,000, Wahlroos folded, and Melnikow called again.

On the turn the {6-Diamonds} hit and the other player moved all in, which Melnikow quickly called, as he'd flopped quads with {3-Hearts} {3-Spades}. The other player mucked and Melnikow won a pot that pushed his stack up to 172,000.
