    When your worth as much as him, he should have just called. Hes out already anyways...If he would have called who knows, he may still be in.

    no way the guy had a straight flush and even if he did , nothing wrong with losing with quads.

    So can we find out what Morgan had? I think he had A(spades) with Jack.

    Wouldnt you expect raise from him though with top pair and only backdoor flush draw? Guy hits pot for 50k and guy with jacks would typically raise at least want to find out where he is at.

    But then again, would probably expect raise if he flopped open ended with spades.

    Honestly no idea, have never been in position to make such a tough laydown and hope I never have too.

    I can't believe he folded when he had a four of a kind! That's like the best card move you can get

    "Tom Dwan from the button raised 32,000, his regular raise. I'm small blind. Call. The gentlemen [Minnesota businessman John Morgan] in big blind called. After this, 7s-Js-8c on the flop. I [bet] from first position, 50,000. [There was an] instant call from the gentleman, and Tom Dwan folded. Then, the eight of spades [on the turn]. Now it's 7-8-J of spades and 8 of clubs. I bet approximately 200,000, approximately the pot. This gentleman instantly called and was very excited. [He looked] around like all cameras in the world are looking at our hand. I don't know why, but it is looking for me like this. After this, the king of spades on the river. I bet 700,000, a little more than pot. I over-bet. Five seconds thinking and he is all-in for 700,000 and 2 million. For me, it's an easy fold. But I maybe thought for two minutes. For me, in real game for example, [it's an] easy fold.
    "I had physical tells plus technically, if he has two kings, he'd raise before the flop because he is a very straightforward player and Tom Dwan raised from button. Only one hand possible in theory, two jacks, but if he has two jacks, I think first of all, he'd raise Tom before the flop, though that is not 100 percent, plus, he would think more on the river because with kings plus straight flush plus two eights, he has [with jacks] only the fourth-best combination. … He should be thinking more about the pot. He was so excited on turn, the king did not frighten him at all. My over-bet did not frighten him, plus before this, he played very straightforward … very tight. He likes to participate in tournament. He cares not about money. … All together, I think [it's an] easy fold.

    I wonder if the odds of someone folding 4 of a kind are similar to someone getting 4 of a kind? 1 in 4,165.

    After reading this, it sounds like the worst fold ever.

    I had imagined them re-raising each other a couple of times at least. How in the world does he fold quads when there are several hands he could have beat, including a bluff?

    He could have had Ace high flush. But if he was holding the 9s-10s (what a pretty looking hand btw) then more power to him. The guy who folded quads is a pro.

    good chance that he had a straight flush because every player would show his bluff when you get 4 of a kind to open fold
